A Flight From Shadows

Illusions fall. Shadows remain.

In the shadowed courts of Kuvia, high elf To'Ara stands less than two years from the coronation that will name her a ruling princess. Long-buried secrets of her past have stirred, and she has set her will upon uncovering them. But some truths, once sought, refuse to remain silent. As the eastern provinces teeter on the edge of war with the west, assassins' blades seek her life and claim those closest to her. Loyalties fray. Trust becomes a rare and costly thing. The safety she has known all her life is revealed as nothing more than an illusion. If she is to survive — and save the newfound teacher and friend who walks beside her — she must learn the hardest lesson of all: how to stand alone.  Some shadows must be fled before they claim you.

To Bind With Blood

Blood binds. Destiny demands.

In the contemplative halls of Samunis, To'Ara and Athandra seek sanctuary and the long-kept secrets of the Al'Kari. But some questions, once spoken, cannot be recalled. Behind the keep's peaceful walls another world awaits — older, quieter, and fraught with danger. Beyond those walls the realm slides toward war, and those who hunt the princess have not forgotten her. Loyalties will be tested. Alliances will be drenched in blood. And only one truth remains: some bindings cannot be undone — and some prices are paid, not in gold, but in blood.
