Author's note: The Deadly Trio takes place both before and after the events of The Cursed Cavaliers, exploring the lives of the legendary figures whose choices shaped the world long before Ella, Wynn and Valko began their journey. While this novel can be read on its own, it contains major revelations and spoilers for The Cursed Cavaliers. For the intended experience, I highly recommend reading The Cursed Cavaliers first before beginning this story. The Deadly Trio is divided into three distinct periods: Year One and Year Two follow the trio during their early years together at the Capital, while the Final Years take place several years later and explore the events that ultimately shape their legacy. All three periods form one complete story and are included within this novel. That said... Enjoy the journey. The Deadly Trio: Some friendships are forged by fate. Others are tested by it. When eighteen-year-old Ava Slade arrives at the Capital to begin her journey as the youngest sorceress in generations, she expects years of study, discipline and discovery. She doesn't expect to meet Vincent Gray, the brilliant inventor who seems more interested in his own creations than people. Nor does she expect Sarena Crow, the castle's most gifted and notoriously intimidating sorceress, whose sharp tongue hides far more than anyone realises. Together, the three become inseparable. The castle soon begins whispering a single name. The Deadly Trio. But as the years pass, ambition grows, responsibilities mount, and secrets buried deep within the kingdom begin clawing their way back into the light. While Ava struggles to guide the next generation of sorcerers, Vincent becomes consumed by an invention that promises to change history itself, and Sarena embarks on a path from which there may be no return. Some legends are remembered for how they began. This is the story of how one was broken.

She needed an ear. She thought she was talking to an AI.

On a journey to discover who he truly is - and who he might yet become - Emile sets out with a noble dream: to rise as a legendary Paladin, a holy knight sworn to wield the light against the darkness and protect those who cannot protect themselves. But corruption festers even in sacred places, and a series of mysterious events soon diverts Emile onto an unexpected path - one steeped in the arcane. As he begins to harness powers beyond the steel of a knight's blade, he must learn to serve the light from within the shadows. Yet honor does not come without sacrifice. Tested in ways he never imagined, Emile will have to decide just how far he is willing to go - and what parts of himself he is willing to lose - to uphold the very ideals that first set him on this path. © 2024 Xino5400.

"In a city of eight million people, why does the air only feel still on a six-foot strip of concrete?" For Lin Yi, the balcony is an escape. For Zhang Hao, it's a vantage point. They started as silhouettes in the dark-sharing nothing but the glow of the streetlights and a mutual need for silence. They aren't star-crossed lovers; they are just two people exhausted by the noise of the world, finding a rare kind of peace in each other's presence. What starts as a simple nod across the railing evolves into a steady, unspoken partnership. No pressure to be anyone else, no romantic expectations-just the quiet comfort of a neighbor who understands the weight of the city. The Balcony Bond is a tribute to the people who walk alongside us in the dark, proving that sometimes, a platonic connection is the strongest foundation we have.
