Book Two of Bound By Madness. The Dark Brotherhood has taken a heavy blow, having lost members to the Penitus Oculatus in their strike against them, but they still survive and are seeking new members while completing their contracts. Faith herself is out there as well, although she is searching for a sibling that was lost to them, her Jester Assassin traveling at her side whenever the Night Mother allows it. Dragons are beginning to fill the skies, however, and it is time for her brother to face his destiny if he doesn't want to see the world around them fall to the forces of Alduin the World Eater. And with one of her dearest companions once more free to interact with the world around him, only Amicus is left tied to her while Ellery must find where he now belongs. When the world is burning around you and you have no voice to scream, what can you do? Cover by CorvusAmare on DeviantArt.

Story begun October 19, 2019. She started life as Juniper, the daughter of a miner and his wife. After an accident in her early years of life, she loses her ability to speak. To survive, she makes choices that sometimes go against what her father tried to teach her. Events force a choice that takes her far from her home. The years that follow bring both joys and sorrows, leading her further and further down the dark pathways of life. Each choice made chips away at who she once was, leaving behind someone barely recognizable. Eventually, she finds she is losing more than she bargained for, but by then it is far too late to stop her descent into madness. Meet Faith, the silent despair.

A self-illustrated post-Skyrim story beyond the fall of the Dark Brotherhood~ After a surreal event, Cicero is inexplicably thrown back into a clear state of mind and his memories from his life prior to his madness return. We begin to learn who he really is... or was. Mind games begin from external influences in what seems to be a conspiracy way bigger than him or the Dark Brotherhood. He becomes a wild card that all sides want to play against each other. With all of this, he has to deal with Jade; a narcissistic Listener who WON'T LISTEN. Cicero's a hypocrite trying to protect her from herself and destroy the demons from her past while running from his own in denial. This story also includes: Daedric Prince mischief, the Tonal Architect rising, the curse of the Green Pact Oathbreaker, and lots of secrets, betrayal, mysteries, and messy unrequited love... no seriously- *This is not a simple love story.* This is a story about foolish hearts. ------------------------------- This is a remaster of book one of my "Foolish Hearts Saga".
