They won the war…but their troubles are just beginning. Two very different warriors must face the ghosts of the past or lose everything they fought for.

A year ago, in the midst of battle, Nuho’s beloved sister betrayed his trust.

The battle would never have happened at all if Hoje’s best friend had been the good man he pretended to be.

Tens of thousands died, falling to a never-before-seen form of magic. Both men, and their world, are only starting to recover. Yet now a new enemy threatens the peace they gave so much for…and the key to saving everything is in the hands of those who hurt them most.

Their growing friendship will save their souls. But will it be enough to save the world?

This is a character-driven fantasy full of political intrigue, action, magic, and a dash of humor and hope in a complex, unique world inspired by East Asia and the Iroquois Confederacy. It’s a one-volume epic that can be read as a standalone, though there are more books set in the world. It contains violence, limited swearing, and a very slow burn romance with no on-page spice.
