Once a powerful and celebrated witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death, she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all-of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again-and if so, what price must she pay? The Exile is the first book in a slow-burn tragic romantic fantasy series. It is a quiet story about two people who were never meant to meet, finding each other in the unlikeliest of places. Warning: The world of The Stormcrow Cycle is dark and rather grim; most civilizations practice slavery and all its abuses. Please mind the "Mature Content" tag. I do not include individual trigger warnings, but you can expect everything typical of a Greco-Roman-inspired society going forward. Book I is a quiet romance with a HFN. Book II ventures into more traditional fantasy territory. Please note this series is a tragedy, not an industry romantasy or romance. Book I is currently being edited for Kindle release. The series is on hiatus, but not dead! Please note that the series will not update on Wattpad once out of hiatus! Please follow me on Royal Road or Scribble Hub for story updates!

Prosper Halis is America's next Bone Cutter. As a Bone Cutter, Prosper's job is to execute a politician or public figure on live television every 14th day of the month; as voted in by the American people. The status of a Bone Cutter is held with higher regard than that of the United States president. No one tops him, and no one is more loved. The Bone Cutter represents the American justice system, and helps strengthen the trust of the country. There is no job in the world more important than being a Bone Cutter. Lucent Kalon should have been the next Bone Cutter. Training since he was first able to walk, the title of Bone Cutter belonged to him. He knew it, his family knew it, and yet, he's stuck in Prosper's shadow, feigning smiles, and pretending to care about his friendship with Prosper. A friendship he never wanted, and didn't think would last. The truth is, Lucent hates him. He hates everything about him, and he wants him gone. Despite Lucent's dangerous jealousy, Prosper trusted Lucent with his life; that is, until Lucent attempts to kill him and take his place. With his trust and innocence broken, Prosper does what any Bone Cutter would do; he gets revenge.

Her entire life, Iliana has heard that those affected by the hands of the gods will live harsh, grand lives. Unfortunately for her, over the past month she has learned exactly how true those stories are. For Kain, that means learning how to deal with what it means to be a hero. Selflessness and bravery are required in equal measure, as well as the will to step into a role he has never wanted to play. As those around him begin to recognize the string of fate at play, unexpected allies arise, and take actions that will shake the world as he knows it. For Iliana, it means navigating life among the Reotakian peerage. Given to the emperor as a plaything, she must learn to hold her tongue, or suffer at the madman's hands. Unfortunately for both of them, games played by the gods are never easy. The measure of life in the eyes of an immortal will always be different than that of a human. And the death of a hero, necessary for the betterment of the world. **Cover by ItalyChick**
