Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Faithless, fated, and waiting: the hunt for power continues.

Stashed behind the closed borders of a country forbidden to outsiders, Carolyn, Alyssia, and Kedren recover from their violent encounter with Princess Daralyn and her minions. Carolyn's recovery is more mental than physical, but her search for peace quickly turns into a hunt for answers when she discovers a surprising connection between this strange new country and her lost faith in the Cult of Kiv.

Meanwhile, Rend, Cenna, Envir, and Jyn travel north for a different kind of recovery. To prevent the war they know Daralyn is trying to start, the team has to work with Rend's estranged father, the king of Ardjan himself, to thwart her plans, all while having to retrieve the ring stolen from Alyssia and find the final missing relic. When things start to go predictably south, Cenna draws on her political training to help salvage the mess, and Rend has to confront the mystery of her fated past for anyone to have any hope of a future.

Author

S.C Wolf is a dreamer stuck in the American Midwest. The corn-field hostage situation is only made tolerable by her family of four cats and the fact that she can travel pretty much anywhere and end up in the arms of a friend. She’s only been writing for real since 2023, but it was quickly obvious to her that this is what she was really supposed to be doing the whole time. Please ignore the fact that she claims she’s quitting every two weeks.
