There is something wicked in the air. Legions move, demons plot, and the world shakes on its foundations. No living thing is safe as the flames that scorched the Wild Reach move ever closer and closer to the realms of men. The Princes of Iron seek one thing above all other things, an artifact without equal from a long forgotten age: the Desolate Throne. The only thing between them and the conquest they desire is a fragile alliance, a few staunch companions, and the Lady Penitent. One way or another, the world as it was known is ending. Sequel to The Lady Penitent.

"It is an army of one purpose: the destruction of the world of men." It has been a thousand years since the Revealing and the shattered world remains as bitterly divided as ever. Magic, rare and dangerous, rules the battlefield alongside knights in armor. Demons of a forgotten age hunt the darkness. Dragons and monsters stalk the wilderness. In the west, an ancient evil stirs and only a few stand between the world and the brink. At the center of the storm is the Lady Penitent, Holland Cea Trădată, a former servant of the demon lords now caught between a love she can never have and the echoes of an ancient prophecy. More sorcery than woman, she can feel the call of demons in her half-hollow heart. The lines blur, loyalties war, and the whispers of the Deceiver threaten to corrupt her soul...

(Posting to Royal Road) A child of Stormhenge, child of the giants of legend, Rúna has grown up sheltered among her own people, looking forward to the day she sets out into the wide world with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Every giant must find their place in legend, must win their gate into Paradise through feats of glory. Even trained for battle, schooled as a bard and storyteller, and born an able shape-shifter, she is anything but prepared for the world of the little-folk. Rigid and cut off from much of Creation, the world beyond Stormhenge is full of mysteries and dangers nothing has prepared her for. Her path takes her through the wild north, the lands of Ash Kordh, the home of myths and monsters, down into the kingdoms of men, where love and evil unfold as they will. Bound by the weaves and wefts of her fate, her honor will link her inexorably to those most in need of her protection and love even as she struggles to right a great wrong and cleanse a kingdom of dark influence. However, the cost, the sacrifice, might be more than she can pay.

He loses himself in his music and among the smell of flowers, but with every day that slips by, he's beginning to wonder if it's worth holding on. With only a few days before they'll select the Aspect for their Chosen name, the only thing these two civilians have in common is that they're both on a crash course for two very different disasters.

HOW MANY ANSWERS YOU SEEK ARE JUST A PART OF YOU, WAITING TO BE FOUND? The game has changed. Fresh from her first brush with mortality, a fragile Sadie Matthau is playing human in New York while the Survivors endure unimaginable tragedy. Wrought with the first deaths of their own kind, a tyrant who will torture them, and an opponent more terrifying than anyone could have foreseen, the Survivors are facing their end. Told from three points of view, The Survivors: Body & Blood is a bloodcurdling, mind-bending, heart-stopping ride. As Sadie and the Winters uncover more enemies, more history, and more answers, they find themselves brought closer together and ripped further apart.

As the Survivors descend into chaos, Sadie realizes a painful truth: the deepest of secrets leave the darkest of marks. Caught between a terrifying fantasy and her own grim reality, Body & Blood is the story of Sadie's dance with her demons - future, past, and present.
