    Summary

    Unrest plagues Alderode, her Ssaelit citizens under constant threat of violence by their Gefendur neighbors. Even the city of Durlyne, the capital of the Ssaelit faith, is no longer a safe haven. Soldiers patrol the streets of the city, stretched thin by the constant attacks on the people they are charged with protecting.

    Addilyn Theron is one such soldier. A woman of the Semon caste, an accident of fate allowed for her to join the Lions of Mercy, a post she has proudly retained for nearly ten years—though it has not been without its hardships.

    Such hardships have only ever been exacerbated in times of strife, and it would seem now is no exception. Something torments Lemuel Adelier, Addilyn's commanding officer and trusted confidant. She had assumed it to be the burden of command, but his silence on the matter eats at her heart until it is nigh unbearable.

    The air is rife with hatred and fear in Alderode, and Addilyn can only hope that she can be more of a help than a hindrance to her esteemed captain.

    Summary

    Angharad means “well loved one”. Perhaps that is why she was chosen. It is cruel irony—for a dragon cannot love. It can only covet, desire, possess. He does not love her.

    Summary

    n. a form of deception, usually used by magicians, in which the performer draws the audience’s attention to one thing to distract them from another.


    The war is over, the souls the Mad Titan had wiped from existence brought back from whatever dark abyss he had banished them to, his grand plan for the universe thwarted at last—but the peace that follows is almost worse than those years of terror and grief.

    Desperate for a purpose, a distraction from the anxiety that plagues her waking hours and sleepless nights, Cassie jumps at the chance to help when Nick Fury calls looking for aid in some new, potentially world ending threat.

    But there’s something off about this Beck guy…
