The fate of Kiverryn behind them, Lulu, Idelle, and Ori embark on new adventures as their paths diverge and force them beyond the worlds of Ishara. Though their surroundings are new, their enemies are not, each new step leading them further down a path that, more and more, seems to be guided by an unseen power.

Ori, abducted by a mysterious stranger to a world unknown, finds herself once again in the role of a savior, struggling to save the lives of those around her from the very person who dragged her across the realms. His ambitions are nothing short of calamitous: to become the ancient, villainous figure from The Broken Song, the White Wolf, in order to fight the Savior as the sacred text says will happen in the Final Days. To become such, he will have to rip open the Grave, drawing the ancient enemy from beyond the known, and, in the process, threatens to consume the world. Ori's race to stop this zealot will lead her through not only this new world, but through the Grave as well, tempting her down a path of secrets long lost to the passage of time.

Lulu and Idelle, returning to their mission of attuning the Compass, are soon waylaid once more when Idelle has a vision of her long dead aunt, a woman who was said to possess a great power before the Fall of Valdornne. Her aunt tells her of an ancient being held captive in the Grave by the King of Bones and begs her to free him from his prison. Though Idelle has no knowledge of how to navigate the Grave, she feels compelled to honor the request of family and convinces Lulu to embark on this new quest with her to an unknown world, Velara. What they find leads them further into the King of Bones' path, an action that could not only endanger their own lives, but others as well for, as Lulu says, a man who calls himself the King of Bones isn't a man you can trust to follow the rules.

Elusia Vale is the most fabulous adventurer, swordswoman, thief, and lover to ever grace Ishara, and she is always the first to say so. Her life has been filled with excitement and reckless abandon, but how long can she outrun the tempests she leaves in her wake? Just a girl when her father was sealed away in an untouchable realm, Lulu has devoted her life to finding a way to bring him back. Her obsession has taken her across the stars, journeying to every known world of Ishara with her best friend, Idelle, at her side. Never ones to pass up the opportunity for trouble, they have made a life out of journeying across the realms, using their skills to help those in need or, in Lulu's case, using stories of their adventures to woo beautiful women. Her quest has seen countless failures, but a new lead, an ancient relic known as the Compass of Nine, promises to reignite her hope. Yet, it is at that very moment when she is drawn into a conflict by her hated cousin, Orianna, a woman called Savior by The Path of Light. The upstart religion has gained a strong foothold within the world of Andavaran, an endlessly painful thorn in Lulu's side. When Orianna asks for her help to stop a sorceress of unfathomable power, Lulu must set aside her hatred to aid both her cousin and a city on the verge of religious civil war, all the while working with The Path, the very people she blames for her father's fate. Together with Idelle, Orianna, and a host of friends, Lulu must face her past and learn, sometimes, the Path you walk isn't always the one you choose. Enter the worlds of Ishara in Book One of The Broken Song Series. Updates will be every Friday at 6:00 pm EST. Thank you for reading, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!!!

The Compass of Nine, the relic for which Lulu made a deal with the ancient witch, Virmira Tanadall, is finally calibrated. It is time for Lulu to open the Garden of Starlight and find her long lost father. Which, naturally, means it is time for things to go horribly wrong. But when Lulu returns home, she finds it besieged by soldiers sent by Queen Eivør, another contender to the throne of Valdornne. She has sent a dark gift to the family home: the bloodied brooch given to Ori the day she left home. Lulu and Idelle must set their own quest aside to aid their Uncle Baloren, who leaves for the tattered homeland of the very empire he once destroyed. Their search for Ori will lead them deep into the Shadowlands, home to the Umbra, the King of Bones' loyal legion of monsters, where they will find themselves in the middle of a war for a mysterious place known only as the Sanctuary. In a war of her own, Ori has spent the last four years helping to fight for the throne of Namera. Her conflict is nearly finished when word reaches her of an old evil about to wake in the Howling Abyss. The Colossus, an ancient adversary who emerges once every thirteen years, is waking and will bring untold devastation to Velara if he isn't stopped. Their only reprieve comes in the form of a woman inside the Abyss, whose powerful voice has momentarily lulled the Colossus into slumber. Her brother comes to petition her aid and will lead Ori and others deep into the heart of the Abyss, where Ori will learn more of the worlds that came before and the powerful savior of The Broken Song. Ori's power will be pushed to its limits as she fights alongside old friends and learns to trust new faces such as the mysterious healer named Zenn'a, whose past may just consume them all, and the Creator Himself, who wishes to prove, once and for all, that He can be trusted.

With the safety of her old life a distant memory, Morana must reconcile the girl she used to be with the woman she is becoming. She can no longer naively believe that hiding in the shadows will keep her safe; she must carefully balance using her magic for protection and using it to gain power. That's a line that is becoming increasingly blurred the longer she remains a captive of the king. Kuga, the king's Winter Woman, is commanded to train her in the ways of Deathsingers so she can enter Araphel, and Morana discovers that the Banshee was not all that different from her once. Without her dearest friends and her fierce protector, she has only herself and her dark magic to rely on to stay alive-a task made even more difficult by revenge seeking soldiers and the mad prince she once loved. But one thing hasn't changed. Vyta and Dycidium remain unlit, and until their fires shine bright again, the world will continue to unravel. She is the only one who stands a chance of entering Araphel and staying alive long enough to restore the portal, but even if she is successful, the fight won't be over. No matter what Tievel claims, the king's interest in the portal goes beyond righting the wrongs of the past. To have a chance at stopping him, she knows she must do whatever it takes to become strong enough to stop him. And if that means fighting fire with fire, then she will embrace the darkness within, becoming the very monster she's always feared she was. Season 2 of The Deathsinger
