Dark Skies

Dark Shores #2

A runaway with a dangerous gift

Lydia has always found refuge in books—but knowledge becomes her undoing when she uncovers secrets tied to the most powerful man in the Celendor Empire. Forced to flee for her life, she escapes across the Endless Seas, only to land in the midst of a foreign war. There, her awakening powers draw dangerous attention, coveted by enemies and allies alike.

A commander broken by war

Killian is Marked by the God of War, destined for greatness—until his divine gifts fail him at the very moment his kingdom needs them most. When Mudamora falls under the advancing forces of the Corrupter, Killian’s honor shatters with it. Disgraced, he pledges his blade to the realm’s last fragile hope: the crown princess. But court politics prove as treacherous as the battlefield, and the oath he swears will test not only his loyalty, but his heart.

A kingdom on the brink

As Mudamora crumbles beneath invasion, Lydia and Killian forge a desperate bargain to protect those they love. Yet their alliance unleashes consequences neither can foresee. Long-buried truths surface. Birthrights are claimed. Loyalties fracture. And all the while, a far greater and more insidious threat spreads across the world—one that may render their war only the beginning.
