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.
