BOOK #2

Book #1 Court Of Talons. She was never meant to fight-and certainly never meant to win. But can she make the ultimate sacrifice to save them all? To avenge her brother's murder, Talia of the Tenth entered the deadly Tournament of Gold in his place and actually won. Now, as the head of her own great house and bound to a massive magical Divh, she faces an even greater challenge: saving the Protectorate from the evil streaming over their western borders. As if rescuing a realm wasn't complicated enough, Talia also finds herself caught between two powerful allies: Fortiss, the dangerous new lord protector whose embrace of ancient magic could unleash something far worse than death; and Tennet, the warrior she was supposed to marry-and the last man she'd ever choose. Probably. With darkness closing in, Talia must navigate ancient prophecies, deadly magic, extraordinary otherworld realms, unexpected alliances and devastating betrayals until she's forced to make an impossible choice: risk everything she loves-or watch her world burn. For only the warrior willing to give up everything can wear the crown of wings.
