Produktbeschreibung

What happens when a hero is defeated by her own victory?

"It felt like I was consistently pumped with doses of epinephrine...the characters developed perfectly." Reader's Favorite, 5-star review.

"I'm an extremely hard reader to please, but I can say wholeheartedly that I truly enjoyed this book. It goes without saying that I'm looking forward to the third book in the series." Reedsy.com, 5-star review.

The war with Tyrace is over. It was supposed to be a time of celebration. Of triumph. But for Marilia Sandara, hero of Chrysathamere Pass, the cost was too high. After watching her childhood friends slaughtered before her eyes, all she wants to do is sail back to Svartennos and try to forget the price she had to pay for her victory.

But the peace isn't long to last. First comes the heartbreaking news that the woman Marilia loves may soon be engaged to another. Then, when Emperor Vergana makes a shocking announcementthat he means to disinherit his true-born son, Rufyllys, in favor of his adopted child, Prince Ilruynthe seeds are sown that will plunge Navessea back into war. This time, Marilia and her twin brother, Annuweth, find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that threatens to undo all they fought for. By the time the dust settles and the killing stops, only one of the children of Karthtag-Kal may be left standing. The second book in the trilogy ups the romance and intrigue, while continuing the journey of Marilia Sandara, the hero of the empire who now stands, in victory, poised to lose everything she holds dear.

Autorenporträt

Bureaucrat by day, fantasy author by night, I began my writing career with several highly questionable life choices, such as a major in history and creative writing that was meant to lead to a glorious career as a fantasy author but instead led to the world of unpaid internships, minimum wage jobs, and a dingy, lightless apartment in small-town Ohio. I suppose I took all those motivational posters about shooting for the moon and landing among the stars far too seriously. Eventually, I decided to pursue an alternative career path (that actually allows me to pay rent) and to write my books on the side. Growing up, my father instilled in me a passion for ancient Greek and Roman history (especially all the battles!), while my brother helped immerse me in the imaginative worlds of Morrowind and Middle Earth. All those influences are very much present in my writing.
