THE CHRONICLES OF NAIREAN
Two women, defying a world of men.
Two secrets, sharper than swords or crowns.
Two hearts, the ultimate weapon.
Aara’s world is ravaged when the king’s hunt obliterates her desert tribe, leaving her a captive in a city drenched in secrets.
Thrust into a guild of six—an alliance of enslaved survivors, scheming rivals, and the pampered heirs of power—Aara must conquer the treacherous Vertex, a labyrinthine descent where each level presents ever more dangerous challenges.
As Aara and her guild navigate the lethal quests, she discovers an even more dangerous game unfolding in the shadows.
At its center stands the Blade Master, perpetrator of her people’s destruction. A man whose blade-sharp secrets make him both her most hated enemy and, perhaps, her only hope for salvation. She burns for his death, but finds herself ensnared within his destructive game, caught between revenge, survival and the betrayal of her own heart…

Their affair spirals into a web of treachery, where Novell’s secrets wield more power than crowns, and desire and danger are intertwined.
But their passion comes with a perilous price, as Novell’s hidden agenda pulls them both into a deadly plot that could destroy them both or the realm…
