A discarded crown, a final ultimatum, a chance for glory.
Long live the guild.
________
Seraphine Eirian is among the lowest red-blooded human rank with her family, poised to marry well and inherit her father's guild of sellswords alongside her eldest brother, Caspian. And though she leads a life chosen for her, she's willing to forfeit her freedom until a single announcement brings that willingness to its knees.
Forced to decide who she stands with, Seraphine learns the hard way that every self-made choice comes with a price. Shoved deeper into a world of ruthless mages, ancient beasts, and merciless battles for power, she has no other hope for survival except to become a contender in the game of glory where men and women crowd arenas in the spirit of reaping rewards for defeating opponents.
The terms of her exile are clear: return with the bejeweled Millennial Crown or the head of the Ignited One to rejoin Bloodline Eirian... And in order to complete either of those tasks or save her brother and herself from the mess she made, she must become what she fears most.
Even if that means awakening the power she was trained to hide.
