Sometimes getting what you want, means taking a risk ... Evylin Glaas longs for adventure. Trained by her Veteran uncle and influenced by the numerous fantasy novels she’s read, Evylin dreams of leaving behind her tiny village in exchange for travel, excitement, and more. But with the patriarchal laws of Ephria and the never-ending Centurial War raging, leaving on her own isn’t an option. Captain Deckard lives to serve. Inspired by the legends of old, Deckard volunteered to join the Ephrian Army with the hopes of helping save his country. Instead, he’s a soldier-turned-recruiter nowhere near the front lines of battle. But this mission is his chance of promotion; if he can recruit 500 men from the Shires of Ephria, he may just earn his place in the army and a chance to make a difference.. When the captain arrives in her village, Evylin determines that their goals may just align. Running out of options, Evylin and Deckard make the choice to take a risk, entwining their lives and futures together. But in pursuit of their individual dreams, they find themselves pulled into more than they bargained for, uncovering a plot against the throne, long-forgotten magic, and the chance to end the war, once and for all.

When you’ve lost the ones you love, can you ever risk loving again . . . ? Evylin is desperate to escape her grief. After losing her uncle, Evylin questions if the gamble she took, marrying Deckard for a life of adventure, had too steep of a cost. Clouded in sorrow and confusion, Evylin seeks solace in their quest to save Ephria and Wauld from the tyrant Night Mage, neglecting the one choice she can’t bring herself to make: Can she risk loving Deckard if that means she might lose him too? Deckard is intent on proving his love. Dedicated to the promise he made to Hewitt, Deckard will find a way to secure Evylin’s happiness, no matter the cost. But this new life of theirs, serving a traitorous organization to bring back magic, has twisted everything he’s ever known. When he is forced to make choices in service to Evylin that bend his ethics, Deckard questions the man he’s becoming. Along with their Ephrian comrades and the Calder siblings, they enter Wauld to retrieve the next three Relics. Their journey turns perilous as they travel through enemy forests and marshes, evading capture from the royal guard, Mages, and bounty hunters. With constant danger pursuing them, Evylin works to unravel the mysteries behind the lost magic of the Warriors while Deckard faces the hauntings of his choices and a burgeoning power.
