Lilithsorrengail Stories

Tessa Arden has spent most of her life surviving people who never wanted her. Orphaned during the Tyrrish Rebellion and raised by a foster family that never let her forget she was a burden, Tessa is given a single dagger, no training, and one final parting gift on Conscription Day: a place in Basgiath War College's Riders Quadrant. They expect her to die. Tessa isn't entirely convinced she cares if they're right. Armed with nothing but an irritating amount of confidence, a talent for saying exactly the wrong thing at exactly the right time, and the unfortunate instinct to throw herself into danger for anyone she cares about, Tessa steps onto the Parapet prepared to survive for as long as she can. What she isn't prepared for is Liam Mairi. Or the squad that slowly draws her out of her silence. The marked riders who understand more about losing everything to the rebellion than anyone she's ever known. The friends who teach her that the girl handed one useless dagger can learn to wield almost anything. And certainly not Bodhi Durran. For the first time in Tessa's life, survival begins to mean more than simply making it to tomorrow. Because Basgiath might kill her. But first, it might give her something worth surviving for.

Malek is bored--He seeks Violet Sorrengail's favor and is tired of waiting. Dain Aetos is ready to die--He will die protecting Sloane if he has any say in his death.

Liam Mairi misses his sister--He watches from the other side of Malek and is surprised when their reunion comes sooner than expected. In a vital battle, Malek meddles. With the snap of his fingers, he pulls Dain, Sloane, Cath, and Thoirt into his realm alive and well. Their hearts still beat and they radiate the light of the living.

As Sloane and Dain navigate Malek's realm, they realize that the answer to saving Xaden and his new brother might be right in front of them. The end of the war may be closer than they think. Their happy ever ending is within reach. Violet Sorrengail's path to Malek will be vital. Sloane Mairi and Dain Aetos will confront the ghosts of their pasts. And Liam Mairi will give Dain Aetos the older brother talk.
