But for Serai, a touch of magic here and there doesn’t seem so bad. After a long day of working on the secluded family farm, Serai and her adoring husband settle in for a surprising night as the spring rains roll in.

The end was nigh, Death had come. It was raining the night I perished… And I was glad. Magic is outlawed in the shattered land of Valitharr, but whispers of spellweaver cults remain on the tongues of those who witnessed their deprivations. Caelen, a timid peasant boy, struggles to find his place as he comes of age. When a wolf mauls his mother, and a spellweaver awakens in the quiet town of Bloodgrove, Caelen is forced to interact with the person he hates most, the gruff local blacksmith—a woman whose secrets cut deeper than her forged blades. Celeste, a secondborn princess of Valitharr, dreams of trading courtly duties for a sword. Yet her royal obligations pale in comparison to the divine burden she bears. Born a Herald, Celeste is destined to summon a benevolent being to destroy the Demon Moon and purge the world of magic. But when royal blood is shed by a spellweaver assassin, Celeste must learn to balance a new Revenge. As spellweavers threaten to destroy Caelen and Celeste’s world, more blood shall surely be spilled. Will their fates converge, or will they be early victims of the depredations to come?

I could cling to hope or hate… That night, I chose hope. But I kept hate close by. Just in case. The second novel in the Harbingers of Agatharr series continues as our heroes converge. Celeste, the Herald of Valitharr, races toward the ancient spellweaver stronghold of Lirathmar. But the divine being who whispers in her mind has been called to stand before the Pantheon, and Celeste worries she won’t survive the journey without him. Caelen, a timid peasant, blames himself for the horrors that have befallen his loved ones and vows never to be paralyzed by fear again. His newfound eagerness finds him in possession of a powerful, ancient ability that threatens to sunder his mind unless he learns to control it. Brynna, a hardened blacksmith, has sworn to protect Caelen and return him to the remnants of his family in Mossby. But in a world cursed with magic, even the simplest task can be marred by danger. Their paths have merged, but how do they trust those they barely know when death lurks in every shadow?
