Book two: Arothena's one solution is to fight, but in a world of deals and democracy, that will soon become a problem. Eloise is gone, and the Man-Rellae War is officially beginning. Arothena is back in Cestrada, Ronan at her side as they negotiate armies and support for peace - but their fight is not going well. Salene has left to visit the Northern Mountains, curious about the people there - their customs, their allegiance, and most importantly, the mysteries that lie obscured by their famous mountains. However, both parties soon find that more always lies beneath the surface, and with the threat of thousands of deaths hovering just over their heads, can their cause manage to survive? And, more importantly, can they? Teaser only at the moment but let me know if you want more! Cover designed by @LowaLowa1

She'd been running her entire life. Now, it might not be enough. Hounded day and night by unearthly men, Eloise has never stopped running. But now, running is not enough, and she needs protection. A twist of fate places her in the hands of the assassin Arothena, who offers her safety. It seems perfect - apart from one, overwhelming difference between them. Arothena would never run. The Great, Man-Rellae war has been on the horizon for centuries. Now, anything could set it off. Arothena wants to take down the man behind Eloise's pursuers, to rid the world of any triggers that could cause the descent into fighting. But Eloise will not go with her. As her journey progresses and her survival becomes less and less certain, Eloise must decide if she will fight - and what for. Cover designed by @LowaLowa1
