For all the goody two shoe girls who romanced Minthara Baenre, This is for you ;) In a world where the oppressive Fidelis Order governs all aspects of life through a rigid control of ancient magic, Ayenna, a young disciple cast out for her crimes against the sect, stumbles into a dangerous conspiracy. While on a journey to redeem herself, she inadvertently binds herself to a mysterious woman named Nilvi, a former member of the rebellion. Bound by a magical link that intertwines their fates, Ayenna and Nilvi must navigate a web of secrets, betrayals, and growing tensions within the rebel group they find themselves allied with. Along the way, they uncover ancient ruins and mythical markings that may hold the key to dismantling the Fidelis Order's power. As Ayenna grapples with her burgeoning connection to forbidden magic and the painful truths about her own identity, she is forced to confront not only the Sect but also the deepening personal conflicts within the group.

Caught between the fight for freedom and the mysterious forces guiding her, Ayenna must decide where her loyalties lie-and whether she can trust Nilvi with her heart, or if Nilvi's secrets will lead them all to ruin.

The Emperor's Edge by LindsayBuroker

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads.

Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
