SEQUEL TO THE ROYAL THIEF
cover by @Iukeh3mmings
Jaden has disappeared, leaving only an enigmatic note to guide Morane. The instructions: Go to Port Maenar, the birthplace of the revolution, to find his "friend"-- a man famous in seven countries for killing without mercy.
Here, in a city riddled with tunnels, spies, and thieves' dens, she will come face to face with Wes, Jaden's one-time student. Here she will once again question her loyalties, choose her allies, and dare to fight as she uncovers the truth behind the rebels's prophecy.
But she cannot outrun the secrets. The rebels, the ambassador, the Sage, even Luca are looking for her-- but one of them has betrayed her. Who can she trust in a city of liars?
As the Guardian Cycle continues, only one thing is certain: nothing is as it seems.

The Great Ruse
"What if we switched?" It's a classic sort of tale. The fiery heroine, Lady Valdis Adalwin, would go to the ends of the earth to avenge her mother after her brutal death in the Fiddleweld Fire five years ago. She still remembers the face of the man who started it all, clear as day, and she will not rest until he is dead by her hand. If finding him means she must disguise as a man and go off to war against the evil magic-wielding realm that set the city aflame, then so be it. Except this story isn't about Val-this is about me, Emerson, the man whose identity Val stole. The ruse was supposed to be a simple one. Switch Roshadian Citizen Papers with my best friend, go to the Royal Ball in her place, and then disappear for a year while Val takes her hero complex to the Border with my army summons. Easy enough, right? Yeah, who were we kidding. So now on top of hiding my ability to use magic, an offense punishable by death, I'll also be thieving the identity of an upper - an offense also punishable by death. Layers of deceit collide in this tale of how I tried to save my life while also learning how to live. Spoiler alert: things don't go according to plan.Complete

But the palace is a place of old power and sharper eyes. When Astraea's first move lands her in chains, her plan seems shattered-until she realizes her most dangerous weapon has always been the one thing they'll never see coming: her.
