Swords of the Mourning

Caelum Deneith, a skilled and battle-weary soldier, is no stranger to the uncertainties of war. As a loyal member of House Deneith, his duty is clear, but doubts and tensions simmer beneath the surface. Sent to take back control of a crumbling castle in Cyre, Caelum and his comrades face a journey fraught with peril, both external and within their own ranks.

Among them is Harken, a young soldier untested by the horrors of war, and General Thorne, a leader whose decisions provoke more questions than answers. As Caelum fights to keep his unit together, he also grapples with his feelings for Elicia, a priestess whose prayers may not be enough to protect him from what lies ahead.

In a world on the edge of catastrophe, where ancient magic and political intrigue weave dangerous webs, the true cost of war remains unknown-until the day it changes everything.
