      <image:title>Chronicles of the Lady Sar - A World Broken (Chronicles of the Lady Sar #1)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Book 1 of The Chronicles of the Lady Sar series They say that long ago, the world was unbroken. That there was no war—nor poverty, nor disease, nor famine. That the gods themselves walked among mortals—choosing some to be their instruments of peace and justice among the races. They even say that there was no winter. Then, it all fell apart. The five races of Erets have lived in one accord since the inception of the world. But now, the seeds of hostility are growing due to a dispute over an innocuous plant, and three people find themselves entangled in affairs they would have once found unbelievable. An advocate—trained to promote mutual understanding between the races—must confront the unimaginable prospect that peace is out of reach. A priest—one who refuses to bend the knee to the gods he serves—finds that the only vow to those gods he has made might be harder to keep than he expects. And a seeker—a gentle warrior sent to uncover the truth behind an unthinkable murder—stumbles into a labyrinth of lies that could shatter the world. These three must save the world that they know. But are they already too late?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heretic Gods - Sweetblade (A Stand-Alone Heretic Gods Novel)</image:title>
      <image:caption>A stand-alone Heretic Gods novel focusing on the backstory of Ivana, one of the main characters from Banebringer. Every decision she had thought was right had led her astray. Perhaps it was time to make the wrong decision. LIVES ARE SHAPED BY DECISIONS, and Ivana’s decisions have destroyed her life. She finds herself on the streets of Carradon, broken, destitute, and utterly alone. But perhaps not entirely without hope. A man named Elidor comes to her rescue and welcomes her into his home. But Elidor holds secrets of his own. Lives may turn upon a single moment, and Ivana’s decision to accept the hospitality of this stranger will transform her in ways she never imagined…or feared. Content Notice: This book contains references to/depictions of self-harm.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heretic Gods - Cursebreaker (Heretic Gods #2)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Book 2 of The Heretic Gods trilogy “Having incredible power and wielding it to force the weak to bow doesn’t make you a god,” he said. “Only a tyrant.” After being exposed by Vaughn and the Ichtaca, the Conclave has now cast off all pretense and seized the reins of power in the Setanan Empire—and they just might have a god on their side. Vaughn is thrust into the center of this conflict. While the Ichtaca seek political allies, he seeks a way to counter the might of a god. But the only lead he has is written in a language no one understands, and time is running out. Ivana wants nothing more than to be left alone, but her past has a way of finding her. With the Setanan Empire falling apart around her, she’ll have to make a decision that will determine more than just her own destiny. Demonspawn. Gifted. Godtouched. Banebringers are called by many names, but will they ever be called human?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heretic Gods - Banebringer (Heretic Gods #1)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Book 1 of The Heretic Gods trilogy “There are people in this world who deserve the moniker Demonspawn,” Ivana said, “but in my experience it has little to do with the color of their blood.” BANEBRINGERS. Source of the bloodbane who stalk the land. Cause of a thousand wrongs. Despised. Cast out. Hunted. Vaughn never asked for the powers of a long-forgotten moon goddess. But rarely do the gods give humans a choice when using them in their machinations. Now Vaughn is a Banebringer, loathed by all who discover his true identity—even his father, a man obsessed with his own power and bent on destroying Vaughn’s miserable life. Vaughn is desperate to end his father before the madman ends him. But to do so he’ll need the skills of Ivana, a vindictive assassin with her own scores to settle. The only question is whether Vaughn can keep himself from becoming another of her targets long enough to see his father eliminated.</image:caption>
