Secrets of the Fire

By: Steves, Audrey

A thousand years ago, the Divine Nine gods gave their lives to entrap the Witch King of Tiressnia. Since then, the gods' legion of warriors known as the Godsworn have dedicated their existence to hunting blood mages, unruly dragonriders, and a manner of other horrific creatures. But when a massacre alludes to the Witch King's return, the Godsworn may need to seek allies to battle this ancient evil. And some of their strongest allies may lie among the people they hunt.

Emric Shaw has been many things in his life-orphan, fugitive, mercenary-but when the power of the Divine gods chose him to serve in their elite force of Godsworn, he could not refuse. So, when signs that a dark force has returned begin to creep across the realm, Emric and his troop of Godsworn must prepare to fight the coming storm. Even if that means fighting alongside an old friend he may someday be ordered to kill.

From her seat on the throne, Melaena is the heir to a powerful kingdom and rider of the realm's largest dragon. Together, these two things have marked her as a dangerous threat. Her only goal is to gain her father's favor and proudly serve Ceromia as its warrior-queen. While her court hopes to marry her off, Melaena will do anything she can to avoid losing her crown. No matter the risk.

As this forgotten evil wreaks havoc throughout the realm, Emric and Melaena find themselves forced to work together to protect their world whether they like it or not. Because one thing is clear: something ancient and evil is stirring in the shadows of the world, and the gods are no longer here to stop it. Or so they were told.
