Desdemona Orbaskier will do anything to reclaim her rightful place upon the throne, even brave the wilds to hunt down and kill the last dragon haunting Draykemire.
As fate would have it, he’s been waiting for her.
Yvayne’s wait is over as the signs foretell that the long-awaited druidic heir will soon be reborn. She knows all too well the dangers that will seek to destroy this fragile new life and must find and destroy them before they can strike.
Ridel is the first in this line of attack, given the sacred, deceptively straightforward task of ridding Azuria of this dangerously powerful lineage forever, the only being who can truly thwart her master’s plans. Lucien’s instructions couldn’t be clearer—the child’s life or her own.
And latest upon the threads of fate, a young nobleman stands watch over his dearest friend, trying to protect her from the cruel matches her stepfather foists upon her path. The situation grows desperate—exactly like his own hopes for intertwining his fate with hers.
Courtly intrigue meets sword & sorcery in this trio of standalone epic fantasy novellas set across the worlds of Azuria and Eldura: Aurora, Stormborn, and Song of Parting.
Beth Ball is a weaver of words and worlds spinning stories of druidic magic and the power of nature that span the epic fantasy realms of Azuria and Eldura.
