When a routine training session goes wrong and takes on a dangerous new aspect for royal protector-come-handmaiden Solancei, her impressive array of talents should have been enough to help extricate herself from trouble, yet it seems that her own infallible skills are in fact... fallible.
Solancei is a born fighter, but has she perhaps met her match?
Feeling a change on the wind, but forced to meet the challenge of an unpredictable opponent who seems bent on some impossible agenda of his own, Solancei must dig deep in order to win clear and return to her friend and cousin, the Princess Iambre, whom she is duty-sworn to protect. However, sometimes life just has other plans; sometimes a friendship can be near-broken until it's tested; and sometimes... just sometimes... a bad day can have only one outcome: the wrong one And yet...
A new millennium is coming, which will sweep aside everything the two friends think they know - but for now, Solancei is not the only one having a bad day...
In the Void, the Creator's Guardians have awoken to protect the realms of Ostravah against the evil and chaos of the mad gods, but as the Veils weaken and the world stands on the brink of descending back into war, the Guardians are no longer all-powerful. To thwart their old enemies, they must recover an ancient artefact and the missing twins, a task that falls to their commander, Spell-Weaver Malandar Denarlin. But with the magic broken, a new weapon is needed, and Malandar knows just the thing - if he is reckless enough to claim it...
*****A deeply visual, character-driven read - in 'A Change of Rules' begins a sweeping series that explores the limits of friendship and duty, romance and darkness. Come along on a quest across nine realms; discover the concept, unravel the lyrical prose.
