Two decades of worldbuilding. Twelve books of betrayal, blood, and the end of empires. In a world where animals rule and trust is the deadliest weapon-everyone you love will betray you.
Step into Athea, where Salvatore Mamone spent 20 years crafting a realm unlike any other. Here, anthropomorphic animals are the dominant species, humans are mere slaves, and a crumbling empire stands on the precipice of annihilation.
In the empire of Athea, the Sisterhood trains the most dangerous women in the realm. Assassins. Diplomats. Concubines. Spies. They wield Traits as unique as their souls-powers that can kill, seduce, or destroy with a whisper.
Azrael never asked to be special.
Abandoned by her mother and saved only by Lady Yasma's invocation of the ancient Right of Exception, she's spent years trying to disappear into the shadows of the Sisterhood's academy. But when her Trait finally manifests-a power so rare it exists only in forbidden texts-everything changes.
The Sisterhood fears what she can do.
Lady Zhitha, the steel-eyed headmistress, gives Azrael an impossible task: investigate her own mentor for treason. Yasma-the woman who raised her, saved her, loved her like a daughter-stands accused of betraying everything they hold sacred.
As Azrael descends into paranoia, she learns the cruel truth: everyone manipulates, everyone lies, and everyone has ulterior motives. In Athea, trust is the most dangerous weapon of all.
Some choices can't be undone.
Some powers demand a price.
And some secrets, once revealed, shatter everything you thought you knew about yourself.
The Chronicles of Athea is a dark epic fantasy spanning 12 books where political intrigue meets cosmic horror, where love is a weakness and power is survival. No one is safe. Anyone is expendable.
This is only the beginning.
The empire is dying.
The elder gods are waking.
