The full might of the Deathless horde has been unleashed, threatening all life. If Aureus hopes to stop them, restore magic, and resurrect Xiomara, he must master his new abilities and uncover the Arcanarium's darkest secret before Aetheria falls into ruin.
As Aureus delves deeper into the mystery of his connection with the Unseelie Court and Erenyx, the god of death, others rise to meet the Deathless scourge...
For Cahira, fighting the Deathless means liberating her city and avenging the dead. For twins Astra and Lux, it's a chance to do what's right, even if it means losing each other. For Barca, holding the line means repeating past sins for the greater good.
Humanity's future hangs in the balance, and though not everything is as it seems, one thing is certain: Aetheria will never be the same again.
Deathless Rising is the second of three short story collections in The Aetherian Cycle that explore just how personal the end of the world can be.

Asterria has entered an era of renewal following the battle at Durga's How, but its sense of peace cannot be shared by those who heard the dire warning given by the gods.

But their people have other priorities which threaten to upend their lives once more.

Threads of Fate
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe.
