(VIOLET SHROUD #1) 

TWO ASSASSINATIONS, a world apart, set the stage for events that will change the world of Ondel forever.

Maeve Whelan, an innocent girl with a gift, is training to become a priestess. When her world turns upside down on the night of a holy festival, she must master the darkness within to survive what happens next.

Theoris Al'Oren, a world away, is second in line to the throne of Orwyn and covets the one thing he cannot have-the one thing that would bring Orwyn to its knees. When tragedy strikes in the royal Alcazar, it's up to Theoris to pick up the pieces and put them together before it's too late. 

What happens to each in this tale will affect the course of the other's life. A world apart, Maeve and Theoris are more intertwined than they know...

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana
