Some Kind of Hell
In a war-torn world where secrets reign, what doesn’t kill you will always try again.
Frelia Valerius has lost too much.
Her kingdom, her family and friends, her noble title—gone. The only things left are her sword skills and the blood in her veins. But now the Unseen, a secretive dark magic cult, are hunting down the ancient magic that runs in families like Frelia's, and she's running out of places to hide.
Vendrick Caecillion has too much to lose.
He’s the former imperial spymaster, Frelia’s former crush, and now, her new boss at the Silverwood Military Institute. He’s the mastermind behind the spy network thwarting the Unseen’s plans, but he’s losing this silent war, and Vendrick knows it.
It will take every skill in their combined arsenal to root out the Unseen—and maintain Silverwood’s standard of academic excellence. For the only thing more merciless than the Unseen are the Silverwood students’ parents—and some of those might just be one and the same.
Bring Down the Sky
What do you do when your only safe haven is overrun by monsters?
With Silverwood under attack, Spymaster Vendrick Caecillion’s instinct is to plan. It’s to counterattack from the shadows. It’s to never expose your underbelly and never reveal your hard-kept secrets.
But to save his sister from the ruthless Unseen, he’ll have to break all of his old rules.
Swordswoman Frelia Valerius’ instinct is to fight. To charge forward and, yes, risk her life in others’ defense, if that’s what it takes to win. It’s to never surrender and never yield.
But how can she move forward when the dead keep trying to claw her back?
The Unseen will stop at nothing to claim all nine of the sacred Bloodrunes, and no one is safe from their hateful plas—not even the dead. To save Vendrick’s little sister, Frelia’s hometown, their students, and themselves, Frelia will have to face the past she hasn’t yet buried, and Vendrick will need to silence his doubts for good.
For if they can’t, world-ending monsters will only be the beginning.
