(Volume 8 of the Reformation Wars series) 

For the past two years, Prince Dustin Rickland has been forced to maintain a low profile. After assisting a group of foreign rebels and nearly dragging his kingdom into war with an age-old adversary, he has retreated to an isolated region to hone his swordsmanship. While tensions rise all about, he bides his time. 

Meanwhile, the loyalties of the Innutukian Empire's various overseers have been called into question, leading to a certain senator receiving a summons to the capital. Fearing the worst, she requests protection for her journey, and as his knight's trial, Dustin finds himself once more plunged into the heart of enemy territory. With perils on every side and old adversaries wishing to settle old scores, the burgeoning warrior has his work cut out for him...

[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)

When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne.

Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all.
