In a land of bottomless vales and great stony protrusions, two separate kingdoms are at war, one started far before any of the honored elders can remember, and all mentionings in the histories have long since crumbled to dust . Though a treaty has been signed less than a year previously, skirmishes have arisen and the war is destined to flare up once more. The W'rathe : Dark of eye and hair, one green eye, one muddy, quick of wit and sharp of tongue. They are pitted against the Ae'the: Nearly giants in stature, long flax-golden hair, piercing blue eyes, brash in thoughts and bold of arm. The War is brutal and bloody, carnage being accepted as a way of life. Both the W'rathe and the Ae'the have demanded that the surrounding country's offer aid, lest they become enemies of war. But when a force of darkness arises, seeking out three magical pendants which can grant the user nearly infinite power, bitter enemies must forge alliances to stop it, lest the world around them crumble in their disunity. This novel is told from all perspectives, on both sides of the war. The characters are many: A broken assassin, an adventuring woodsmen, a slave to his own mother, and more. Join this epic journey and learn that there is always at least two sides to every story, and that the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood.

"I will obey you. Serve you. Heal for you. Die for you-if that's what you want. I'll be loyal only to you until the day you decide I'm no longer useful," she said. The firelight danced across his physique as his face stayed still. "I could make you do all those things as we speak." His voice was laced with threat. "You could," Silvia said clutching her hands to fists, "but not ever without a fight." ------------------------- When Silvia's village is burned, the survivors are dragged to the war camp of Lord Varric-a ruthless warlord whose name is spoken like a curse. She appears broken and obedient, but her eyes are sharp, her mind unyielding. His men are forbidden to touch the enslaved women of her village-not out of mercy, but because they are coin to be sold. Desperate to protect her people, Silvia breaks free one night, only to be struck down before Varric's eyes. She survives through the power of her healing-and learns quickly that his men's crimes don't seem to sway him. With nothing left to offer in return for her villages protection, Silvia pledges herself-her body, her gift, her loyalty-to the man who destroyed everything she loved. An oath of loyalty, fear and unshakable resolve. Lord Varric accepts, not out of compassion, but calculation, keeping her close as a weapon, a healer, and a mind to sharp to waste. Yet even under his cold command, Silvia refuses to break. And behind her quiet defiance, Varric finds himself torn-driven to crush it, yet unable to look away from it. A dark fantasy romance of war, loyalty, and the perilous line between ruin and desire. #1 lord ~ 29.07.25 #1 forbiddenlove ~ 23.08.25 #7 hatelove ~ 03.09.25 #1 powers ~ 04.09.25 #1 enslavement ~ 28.09.25 #1 enemiestolovers ~09.10.25 #2 medieval ~ 03.11.25 #1 enemies ~ 20.11.25 #1 middleages ~ 17.04.2026 #9 darkfantasy ~ 16.07.2026 #3 fantasy ~ 19.07.2026
