A Distrustful Blacksmith...
Maqui has never been the trusting sort—especially of the gods—so, when a priestess shows up at his doorstep one night begging for help for her wounded friend, he’s more than content with shutting the door on them. Maqui's optimistic brother, on the other hand? Not so much. Once the injured woman awakens, not only do they learn the king has been killed—thus terminating the fragile bond between the gods and mortals—but also, that the key to restoring the bond lies in the hands of an exiled heir, whose location is known only to a habitual wanderer. Despite Maqui’s reluctant involvement, allowing the strangers into his home sets off a chain of events that will forever leave him changed…for better, or worse.
​
A Reckless Priestess...
As the next to ascend to High Priestess, Ayven always intended to be a proper Daluyan—which meant placing her duty above all else, primarily above fraternization and worldly possessions. For most of her life, she’d straddled the line between piousness and dissent, all at the risk of execution by the no-nonsense Conclave that governs her people. But when she meets Nik, whose optimism and kindness remind her there’s a life beyond the robes, she realizes some things are worth crossing the line for.

​
A Mischievous Wanderer...
Time is the one thing people never have enough of, but unfortunately for Eleni, she doesn’t have that problem. Whether that's a blessing or a curse is still up for debate, and at least for her, there’s only so much living that can be done before death seems like a better option. Only problem is: how does one die when the gods have appointed her to be immortal? When the key to Eleni’s demise intrigues her into sticking around the realm of the living for a while longer, it’s not only her own fate she’s tempting…but his.

A Broken Champion…
For the first time in his life, Maqui has everything he never thought he’d want—a growing bond with his newly-found kinfolk, a promising romance with a woman who infuriates him as much as she captivates him, and access to the gods’ abilities at his fingertips. The future holds endless possibilities, and for once, he’s looking forward to exploring them. Too bad he never planned for the past to catch up with him, though…
A Scorned Dreamer…
In a perfect world, Ayven would ascend as High Priestess, lead her people out from underneath the Conclave’s fist of oppression, and choose her own spouse. But the world isn’t perfect—especially not hers. So until then, she’s content with sneaking around to see Nik, cherishing every moment together in the little world they’ve created for themselves. Although they’ve always known their days were numbered, when Ayven’s betrothed, Inigo, arrives months early, her relationship with Nik isn’t the only thing at risk…

​
A Merciless Flame…
It’s been quite a while since Eleni has wanted to put away her travel cloak and lay down roots, and with him, she could picture herself doing just that. Their once-unlikely involvement blossoms into something fierce, and when he’s taken from her, she’ll stop at nothing to get him back. If that means tearing down the oppressive faction brick-by-brick and leaving bodies like breadcrumbs, then so be it…

A Fractured Pillar…
Maqui never imagined that winning his freedom would mean losing the woman he loves. Though Eleni is immortal, she’s trapped in an endless sleep—and Maqui blames himself. Desperate to find a way to wake her, he refuses to give up, but with a rebellion raging around him, his absence from the fight is starting to draw dangerous attention. Time is running out, and Maqui must decide whether to join the battle or risk everything to save the one person he can’t live without.
A Merciful Harbinger…
Ayven always knew she was destined to lead her people—but she never dreamed it would be in a rebellion. With Tassi hunting her and her family, every decision is a matter of survival. Yet, as dangerous as Tassi and the Conclave are, Ayven’s greatest threat isn’t from them. It’s from herself. Haunted by doubt and driven by fear, she must confront her darkest inner battles before they destroy everything she’s fighting for.

But when a mysterious stranger begins to unravel the seams of her carefully crafted world, the cracks in her perfect life grow impossible to ignore.
