One defies every order. One longs to follow them. Today, they’re about to face the test of their lives.
I’ve trained my whole life for the Trial—for my chance to become a Blue Shield, to serve the Realm with honor.
I should be nervous. I am nervous. But I’m ready.
Then they don’t call my name.
Instead, I’m summoned before the King himself—and not for anything I’ve done. They want Gray—my best friend, the mage prodigy that’s refused to serve for years.
They want her. Her magic. And I’m just the leverage to make her submit.
Except Gray doesn’t submit. She never does. But for my sake, she’s willing to strike a deal—an unprecedented arrangement that binds our fates together. She’ll face her own test, and I’ll face mine.
If either of us fails, we lose everything. Our futures. Our freedom. Our friendship.
Book One of Gray’s Tales.
A childhood friend. A stolen past. A secret too dangerous to uncover.
I never wanted to come back to Korth. The wizards who raised me made it clear I didn’t belong—and I believed them. But when the King sends me to the Conclave’s library, I find the opposite of what I expected: warm welcomes, open doors, and full access to the archives.
It feels like coming home. Almost.
At night, a child’s voice calls to me. A voice that knows me—but I have no memory of her. The wizards insist there’s nothing there. That I’m imagining it. But I know they’re hiding something.
Now I have to decide: do I chase the truth of my past, or leave the shadows buried where they belong? Because some answers don’t set you free. They break you.
Book Two of Gray’s Tales.
At Stormhaven, trust is forged in fire. And Gray’s about to get burned.
I thought proving myself to the Archmage would be enough. I thought joining the Blue Shields meant I’d finally belong. But arriving at Stormhaven feels like starting over—another fortress where I’m still the outsider.
The other mages think I’m a fraud, and they’re not afraid to say it. And when a young woman is found murdered inside the fortress walls—her body laid out in a wizard’s diagram—the first person they look to is the anomaly who happens to know wizard magic.
I was called in to translate the spell, but I quickly realized I was also a suspect.
As more bodies start to drop, I need to find the real killer, or Stormhaven will decide I’m guilty. And this time, I won’t just lose my place in the Blue Shields. I could lose my freedom—or my life.
