LET ME TELL YOU A STORY…

AUDRA JASHOWIN is a storyteller without a purpose.

When all the tales in the land of Mithra-Sha lost their endings, Audra fled from her family’s rejection and the only home she ever knew. Now, with a sense of veiled danger haunting her heels and her life as devoid of direction as her stories, she arrives at long last in a city of fresh starts and second chances.

There, she finds an adventure greater than she ever dreamed.

JAIK GRISSOM might be the key to bringing back the power of all stories.

A simple farmhand with a way around weapons, Jaik possesses more than a sharp wit that sets Audra’s soul aflame. He’s a natural amplifier with the talent to breathe life into her tales…into all the tales in Mithra-Sha.

Chased from their comfortable lives by a stroke of ill luck on a fateful night, Audra and Jaik embark on a journey for answers—through the wilderness and over the raging sea, to the heart of storytelling itself. Along the way, the strange bond between them deepens as they begin to uncover a mystery that lurks beneath all the broken tales, written in the shroud of their own unlikely pasts.

To mend the fractured stories in Mithra-Sha, Audra and Jaik must learn to embrace what lives at the core of their own the bravery and brilliance, the loyalty and love, and the purpose and power they both harness—together and apart.

And they must face a terrible truth penned between the pages of their quest…a tragedy that will change the course of history and rewrite the ending of their tale forever.

In einer Welt mit drei Sonnen,
in einer Stadt, gebaut auf dem Grab eines toten Gottes,
sinnt eine junge Frau, die mit den Schatten sprechen kann, auf Rache.

Mia Corvere kennt nur ein Ziel: Rache. Als sie noch ein kleines Mädchen war, haben einige mächtige Männer des Reiches – Francesco Duomo, Justicus Remus, Julius Scaeva – ihren Vater als Verräter an der Itreyanischen Republik hinrichten und ihre Mutter einkerkern lassen. Mia selbst entkam den Häschern nur knapp und wurde unter fremdem Namen vom alten Mercurio großgezogen, einem Antiquitätenhändler. Mercurio ist jedoch kein gewöhnlicher Bürger der Republik, er bildet Attentäter für einen Assassinenorden aus, die »Rote Kirche«. Und Mia ist auch kein gewöhnliches Kind, sie ist eine Dunkelinn: Seit der Nacht, in der ihre Familie zerstört wurde, wird sie von einer Katze begleitet, die in ihrem Schatten lebt und sich von ihren Ängsten nährt. Mercurio bringt Mia vieles bei, doch um ihre Ausbildung abzuschließen, muss sie sich auf den Weg zur geheimen Enklave der »Roten Kirche« machen, wo sie eine gefährliche Prüfung erwartet …

Orphaned at a young age, Samara is left under the care of her three horrible brothers. Just when she thinks she cannot take another day of their abuse, a handsome prince offers for her hand in marriage.
Samara's brothers agree in exchange for a large dowry, but on her way to her new kingdom, her carriage is ambushed by Lore, the wicked Prince of Nightshade.
Samara believes that the fae has snatched away her chance at freedom to punish her for her crimes against his kind, but punishment is only half of Lore's plan.
The truth is that the Elven Prince has pined after Samara for seven long years. She is all he can think about--a toxin in his blood. Can the Prince of Nightshade, whose power over poisons rivals none in the Enchanted Forest, manage to find a remedy, or will he succumb to her love?
