In the final installment of the Lore of Penrua series, Uachi and Diarmán take their leave of the Holy City and return to Narr... *** House Eldran is in shambles. Over the course of a decade, the castle and its surrounding lands have fallen to ruin. There are those who believe that wayward Lady Moigré brought more than seven sons with her when she returned from the realm of the Fae: they say she was shadowed by a curse. Now, her father Lord Emón is dying, and his legacy is in question. Who will rule when the old man is dead? Lady Moigré's eldest son, Diarmán, was the unlikeliest of heroes in the War for Narrian Independence. A chance encounter with a grim-faced stranger, Uachi, swept him up into adventure, politics, and a chance at love. Now, for the part he played in the war, Diarmán has the vocal support of the Empire for his claim to his grandfather's throne. He and Uachi are returning to House Eldran to lay his claim, and if Diarmán secretly hopes to kindle something more than friendship between them, well, who can blame him? But Diarmán is not the only one who wants to rule House Eldran. There is someone older, far more powerful, and cleverer, too-someone who should have died when Eldran's Wood was burned to the ground. When his father Han Taín rises from the dead, where will Diarmán's loyalties fall? *** CHAPTERS POSTED WEEKLY!

BLOOD IS POWER. The Blood-Bound Sovereigns, Matei and Mhera, have been leading the Penruan Empire as best as they can since the Arcborn Rebellion shattered it half a decade ago. Together, they've weathered many trials and borne many burdens, but the time of their deepest suffering was yet to come... Matei and Mhera's daughter, Princess Uarria, disappeared from her bedchamber late one night. The mutilated corpse of her guard, stuffed unceremoniously into a wardrobe, makes it clear that the princess is in mortal danger. With tensions broiling in the southern provinces of Narr and threatening to escalate into all-out war, the terrified parents must balance their fear for their daughter with their duties to the realm. Meanwhile, Uachi u Rora struggles with the revelation that Ealin, the unmarked Arcborn woman he has loved for years, is the one who has taken the princess. He cares for Ealin more than he's ever cared for anything in his life and now, faced with the horror of her betrayal, he is honor-bound to bring her to justice. His journey will take him farther from home than he has ever gone, where he will meet people stranger than any he's ever known and face down monsters he first met as a boy.

Lady Mhera and Matei u Rhodana, the Rebel King, returned to Karelin to end a war with their sacrifice. In so doing, they tore down an era of secrets and lies. Now, they must restore order to the realm, challenged at every turn by others--and even by one another.

A LINE UNBROKEN. A TRUTH UNSPOKEN. Born into wealth and privilege as the niece of an emperor, Starborn Lady Mhera never dreamt that tragedy would shatter her world. But darkness roils beneath the peaceful facade of the Holy City: a rebellion is brewing among the Arcborn-the dangerous, magic-blooded undercaste of Penrua-and they will stop at nothing to destroy the peace of the realm. That much is proven to Mhera when she is just a girl and her greatest treasure is taken from her. Years later, still wounded by the evil the Arcborn wrought against her, she is on the brink of professing her final vows as a nun...but before she can accept the life of safety and solitude she doesn't truly desire, she is offered a chilling compromise with fate that threatens everything she has ever known.
