"The north is at peace, secured by murder and betrayal and the plotting of treacherous kings.
As half the northern nobility gather in Ilithor for the wedding of Princess Amilia Lukar and the traitorous King Hadrin, Elyon Daecar finds himself drawn into a plot he never expected. One that may see him soar.
Freed from the clutches of the sinister Cecilia Blakewood, Saska travels south in the company of her giant protector, Sir Ralston, and the crew of the Steel Sister. Making for the city of Aram, she finds her journey hindered by the simmering war, as more of the riddle of her past is unraveled.
Far to the south, tensions boil as the Patriots of Lumara continue to stir violence, slaughtering any northman they can find. Jonik and his allies fight back, as the former Shadowknight discovers the truth of his purpose. A holy duty awaits him. But first, he'll need an army...
At the twin tombs, north and south, the world begins to tremble. Amron Daecar limps into the white wilderness, in search of his salvation, and a world away Lythian Lindar is drawn into a world of monsters and gods. All is connected. The past and the future. The gifts of the fallen gods.
Through the ages their actions echo. And titans will rise again."
"Mutiny is threatened. Madness festers. Treachery is never far away.
War rages in the north. As the Varin Knights march to join Tukor in their conflict against Rasalan, Elyon Daecar finds himself embroiled in a world of secrets and lies. Saska has one goal: to assassinate Lord Kastor. Posing as a captured servant girl, she infiltrates the Kastor warcamp to face her demons, but before long finds herself hopelessly out of her depth. Enemies close in, old and new...and history has a habit of repeating itself.
Driven by the whispers of a long dead god, Jonik seeks a new purpose as he's pursued by the order he betrayed. His journey will take him south, across the paths of men and monsters. Some seek to slay him; others to help guide him. And all the while his legend spreads.
With the Warrior King plotting to take full control of the north, sinister forces stir in the south. Some fight to stall war, others seek to incite it, as chaos and calamity threaten to engulf all the world. Kings will fall, champions will rise, secrets and prophesies will be unearthed.
The next great Renewal approaches, they say. But will it be the last?"
"An ancient evil. A treacherous king. A mystery going back to the fall of the gods.
In the heart of Vandar, as dark forces close in, Elyon, a gifted Bladeborn knight, fights for his family's survival in a world on the brink of war. In the beleaguered northlands of Tukor, a servant girl with a mysterious past is forced on the run by a treacherous lord, propelling her on a journey that will change her world forever. From the Shadowfort, an ancient power is unleashed, one that will set into motion a series of events that will bring the world to its knees.
With the world on the verge of chaos and countless lives at stake, a new First Blade must be selected, but obstacles stand in the way. Alliances are broken. Enemies are born. Only the strong will survive.
Follow this epic tale where the battle for land, power, and the divine gifts of the Fallen Gods will shape the fates of all."
"Waking on the edge of the lake, out beyond the perimeter wall, Brie has to think fast.
She's lost, alone, and surrounded by toxic mist. And soon enough, she'll have other threats to contend with too.
Needing to get back to the city fast, she sets her sights on the High Tower, the beacon that calls her home. And eventually, it's right to the summit that she needs to go.
But first, she's got other business to attend to, business that will take her from the core of Inner Haven to the northern reaches of the underlands.
And as a new enemy is revealed, Brie realizes that her already impossible mission has just gotten that little bit harder.
And the clock is starting to tick faster . . ."
"'The door is opening for you, Brie. And now it's your time to walk through it. You have to find a way, dear sister. And you have to do it fast . . .'
Brie has finally married Adryan. She's finally made it to the High Tower. And now, there's nothing to do but complete her mission.
Surrounded by enemies, she soon finds that she has very few friends in her new home. And within a single day of arriving, she's facing tests of her new powers that will make or break the mission.
As tensions begin to boil over in both Outer, and Inner, Haven, events transpire that might just make her job even harder. And with no one else to help, it's down to her, and her new husband, to find a way to the summit.
The race is on . . ."
"'You want me to go to Inner Haven . . . you want me to be a spy.'
Standing in the church outside of the city, Brie is still in shock. She has a brother, a twin. She isn't alone after all . . .
Her world is changing fast. And soon it'll be her turn. As her powers begin to manifest, and her training begins, Brie finds herself trying to juggle her changing body with her mission. A mission that she doesn't truly understand.
Soon, however, the truth of what she's been tasked to do will dawn. And as another attack from the Fanatics rocks the city, Brie finds herself drawn into making a terrible choice.
Take a life to save a life. And maybe help stop a war . . ."
"In the future, the mind is everything . . .
Hundreds of years into the future, a new species of human has emerged. People with super strength, or speed, or sight, or smell. People known as The Enhanced. After wars have decimated the earth's population, the survivors live in relative safety in the city of Haven. Separated into two parts—Inner and Outer Haven—the city is the final refuge for both the Enhanced, and the regular 'Unenhanced.'
Eighteen-year-old Brie Melrose is just a normal girl living in Outer Haven with the rest of her kind. Growing up in an orphanage, Brie never knew her parents, and her life was always destined to be simple. One day, however, a routine job turns into something much more, and Brie finds herself under the watchful eye of the Savants, the highest order of the Enhanced, blessed with supreme intellect and who consider emotions to be pointless.
Soon, as threats she never even knew existed begin to close in, Brie learns that her world, and the city of Haven, isn't quite what she thought it was. And neither is she . . ."
