The battle at Osha castle is won, and the Militia now holds tentative power over Braskey. Roman Treck leads under Lady Helena's counsel and Aundreya Leyera's attentive caresses, but deep inside he knows something is wrong. A tickling feeling reminds him that all is not what it seems, and dreams remind him of the friends he once had. Noelle Leyera lies scarred in a dungeon, slave to her twin sister's cruel, manipulative games. But the longer Noelle stays in the dungeon, the deeper she dives into an untapped power that might be her only hope for salvation. Maverick Knight and Gwen Tremaine are on the run with Maverick's Watcher, Finny, and the mysterious Lieutenant Port. Stay hidden to stay alive -- that's the game. But all of them know there will come a time when they must return to Osha and face Helena once again. A time when it will mean death for one and crowning achievement for the other. Eric Lee has lost everything: his love, his family, and his position as commander of the Army. There's nothing worth living for, and he feels his insides going cold, his humanity slipping away. With the cold comes a darkness, a wickedness he didn't know possible. Phoenix Knight has given her life for those she loves, but she isn't done yet. With the help of the Watchers Altair and Castor, Phoenix must save not only her brothers but find a little boy who holds the key to the destruction of the ultimate traitor. Phoenix must reunite with her friends and family to pull off the ultimate coup--to destroy an Ancient more powerful than even Castor or Altair, a traitor hiding in plain sight.

In a land laid waste by human greed, we looked above for salvation. We should have been looking below. Entry into @TheCryptic_ Herculean contest

Born to keep peace and defend the weak, Phoenix has spent her sixteen years hidden away with an adoptive family that is nowhere near as simple as it seems. Hiding away has her itching to embrace her true identity as a guardian, but when tragedy strikes, she'll be forced down a path she never thought to take. Armed with her wit and a heart full of hope, Phoenix will set out to change everything: from the lowest serving girl right up to the king who sits on the throne. Before she can face the king and his dark sorceress, Phoenix will have to get past a former friend and now her greatest enemy. The strongest leader ever to rise in the King's Army. Commander Eric Lee.
