18 year-old Sinadine de-Arashi was never meant to live.
Descended from an ancient line of female warriors that fell from the stars, her birth heralded a harrowing omen that demanded her throat be slit soon as she drew her first breath. Saved only by her mother's sacrifice, Sina longs to restore honor to her mother's name and prove herself worthy of her clan. That she is not a harbinger of death and destruction.
Regardless of what the stars foretold.
But when news is received that the Emperor is dying, and an imperial escort is on its way to collect its tribute of Swordsworn to uphold a thousand year treaty of peace. Seizing the opportunity to free them of her curse, her aunt--and lead Matron of her clan--demands Sina offer herself or face exile.
Torn between dreams of glory and the call of duty, Sina must decide: will she sacrifice herself and serve the empire that enslaved them, or bring it crashing to its knees?

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
