Lies woven in blood are lines waiting to be crossed. Lin is a competent, dedicated soldier but his mission takes a drastic turn when one of his charges is found murdered. Soon after, he is ambushed by magic-twisted monsters, gravely wounded, and abandoned by his one remaining ally. Waking to find his injuries healed by forbidden magic, Lin is marked as an oathbreaker by the very laws and beliefs he upholds. Lin soon finds his faith in the faction he’s lived his life upholding tested by the woman who saved him from the brink of death. With his fate hanging by a thread, he faces an impossible stand by his new ally and seek vengeance for his murdered charge or betray her for amnesty from those who’d execute him.

No less blood is shed when bonds become broken. Threats come from all sides as Ladrican ships wait off the coast and a mysterious untethered threat becomes impossible to ignore. Lin is pushed to breaking as he struggles to stall Ladrica's assault. War is upon Danica, but like an infection allowed to fester, the threat of the untethered can no longer be ignored. Soldier. Hero. Monster.

Noosemen. Blessed by the Six, cursed by their blood, loathed by their liege. Dennick has only ever known the Noose, but when he takes matters into his own hands and kills a fellow member, he must decide between his loyalty to the King he serves, or the friends he's made. All nooses are made from individual strands woven together but when doubt is threaded throughout, and faith and friendship are tested, even the most steadfast of Nooseman will find themselves choking from choice. This is a tale of the King's Noose, and only one end is waiting for them all.
