Historian and horseman Aidryn Tarlach has spent his entire nineteen years waging one silent battle after another. The city archive is the only refuge he’s ever known, but even that begins to unravel. Suddenly, he finds himself struggling to hold onto everything he’s fought for. Aidryn is stretched thin among the interests and people he’s spent years trying to protect. His family is bent on controlling the throne. His closest friend, Silira Mór, is oblivious to his feelings for her—and is set to inherit a coveted magic she doesn’t believe in. Even worse, the city’s young ruler, Rí Eremon, has set his sights on Lira. Set two years before the events of Defender of Histories, Ballad of Stallions follows Aidryn to the heartbreaking decisions he must make to protect Lira and secure Iathium’s future.

Introverted bookworm Silira Mór is the most promising historian to serve the city-state of Iathium in centuries. When Lira is selected to inherit the city’s archive as the next Defender of Histories, she can hardly believe her good fortune. Lira has more than she could have ever dreamed possible: true friends, meaningful work, and even a budding romance with Iathium’s young ruler, Rí Eremon. In a cruel twist of fate, Lira learns her beloved histories have been falsified—and that a forgotten, long-suppressed magic is surging across the continent. With the help of Eremon and her childhood friend, Aidryn Tarlach, Lira sets out to learn the real truth about her world. But when tragedy strikes, she finds herself completely alone, with enemies at every turn. If you're a fan of epic fantasy with strong friendships, tragic romance elements, and a friends-to-lovers slow burn, you will love Defender of Histories.

War is brewing in Rodhlan, magical chaos reigns, and Lira’s friends and allies are scattered. As her fragmented power grows out of control, Lira finds herself lost, alone, and completely vulnerable to the magic raging within her. On her way across the continent, Lira makes an unlikely friend in Thorne Beran, a young warrior from her stepfather’s clan. Desperate to save Aidryn Tarlach, Lira convinces Thorne to go with her on a dangerous mission to retrieve him from enemy hands. Along the way, they make a shocking discovery that could turn the tides of war and restore hope to Rodhlan. As the evil in Iathium ignites to an unstoppable blaze, Lira finds herself drawn toward her own mission to resurrect a ghost from her past. But to succeed, she must face her own deeply-rooted terrors—and test the loyalty of those she loves most. If you’re ready for an epic fantasy adventure with adventure, magic, and heart-stopping romance, Keeper of Keys is for you.

Their ruse could shatter the world. Dark magic has consumed Silira Mór, and it’s quickly spinning out of control. Desperate to restore peace and order to her world, Lira urges the newly-immortal Eremon to reclaim his throne. With the usurper-queen Aila across the sea and her daughter, Caitir, making her own bid to rule Iathium, the timing couldn’t be better. Eremon, horrified by his vast power and immeasurable potential, is reluctant to ascend. At Aidryn Tarlach’s urging, he sets out to quietly gather allies in the city and sabotage Caitir’s scheming. Instead, Eremon’s spying transforms into a begrudging fascination with Caitir, entangling them both in a web of deception and intrigue. As tensions escalate and loyalties splinter, relationships unravel and new alliances form. Lira, Aidryn, Eremon, and Caitir must each choose what they are willing to sacrifice to bring unity to their people, protect their magic, and reestablish peace.
