In a land torn by fire and ancient rites, Ashenhall's captain Kaelis and Emberfall's champion Seris meet on a smoldering battlefield and discover a shared longing for peace. Their secret passion ignites beneath the shattered arches of the Old Flame shrine-only to be shattered again when duty forces them apart.
Exiled and bound by hope, they send covert gifts across the ash-choked no-man's land until, on the field where their blades first met, they choose love over war and spark a final, daring bid for unity.

Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of.

And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.Complete
