Tutelar Idris Menhyr is a brutal and enigmatic man, waging a campaign to eliminate the other warlords of Tirgodh. Tradition demands he stoke the fires of war, but he is driven by deeper motivations.
Ahn, trained as a chronicler from birth in Ashiir, and assigned by divine decree, has the delightful task of recording every last word the man mutters, every step he takes.
The Council of Kings sits apart from the blood shed in their name, ever vigilant of their kingdoms as they teeter between stability and stagnation. When a piece becomes too successful, too aggressive, sacred rites are invoked to manipulate the arena back into order.
When Idris receives demands from the Council of Kings, he foists the task upon his chronicler and puts the tedious matter to the back of his mind. Ahn forges ahead, lost in a duty she has little knowledge of, and Tutelar Menhyr discovers that even a burr, if left to fester, can prove toxic.

When captured during a raid against the Empire, Irene prepares herself to face the hangman’s noose – until the Faeri King makes a different call. One that will change her life forever.

Hearts Entwined in Battle
Summary In the midst of a fracturing empire, three hearts collide on the battleground of a fierce civil war, weaving a complex tapestry of love and conflict. General Lysander, a stoic and strategic leader of the royal army, and Captain Thalia, a fiery rebel commander, begin as fierce adversaries. Their initial encounters are fraught with tension and animosity, each dedicated to their cause but undeniably drawn to the other's formidable spirit and tactical brilliance. Their battles are not only fought with swords but with words, as each confrontation leaves them more intrigued and conflicted. Enter Eris, a cunning diplomat whose allegiance sways with a persuasive eloquence that masks a deeper, more personal agenda. Eris knows Lysander and Thalia not just as enemies but as former lovers, now torn apart by war and duty. Seeing the potential for peace and personal gain, Eris manipulates events to force the three of them into an uneasy alliance. As the war intensifies, so does the trio's emotions. Forced to confront their pasts and the growing feelings between them, Lysander, Thalia, and Eris find themselves in a tumultuous negotiation of desire and duty. Through secret meetings, dangerous liaisons, and heart-wrenching betrayals, they must navigate their personal conflicts and their responsibilities to their people. With the empire's fate hanging in the balance, the three must decide if their newly forged bonds are strong enough to challenge their loyalties and perhaps alter the course of the war. Can they transform their fiery enmity into a polyamorous love strong enough to unite their divided world, or will their passions ignite the flames of destruction? **Hearts Entwined in Battle** explores the complex dynamics of love and loyalty, questioning whether the heart can truly be the path to peace in a world torn by conflict.Complete

They say there is a thin line between love and hate. Born into a world of brutality and injustice, Elena Starks knows better than to believe it. Her country of Nyrma is engulfed in a civil war fought between two very different nations-Nyrmans and Sariyans. Superiors and subordinates. As a Sariyan, Elena has never experienced true freedom, and she dreams of a brighter future. But a swift attack of the merciless enemy results in a devastating tragedy. Hopeless and traumatized, Elena is captured and taken to a grim place called Obsidian where she catches the eye of the enigmatic Commander Damien Crane. The dangerous Nyrman could hurt her in unspeakable ways, but-to Elena's great surprise-he doesn't. For some mysterious reason, he shows her mercy and treats her with unexpected kindness while all the other prisoners suffer under his command. Elena knows she can't trust this merciless tyrant, but his persistent gentle conduct doesn't leave her indifferent. As Damien slowly works his way in, Elena lets down her guard and begins questioning everything she knows. They are a captor and captive, power and helplessness...ying and yang. So different, and yet the same. Can love grow in the midst of hell? WARNING: Intended for mature audiences.Complete
