The Ephemeral
In a post-apocalyptic world, the male elite rule a war-torn nation purged of documented history. Women are forced to marry and repopulate a dwindling army, and men are sent to die in a game of hydropolitics and democratic safeguarding.
Book 1: Breeder
An outcast cursed to consume the memories of anything she touches. A woman fated to repopulate the nation's army. A breeder barred from the sword.
And she's desperate for a taste of freedom.
17-year-old Alex Kingsley is willing to do anything to evade her marriage contract and a life of prescribed motherhood—even if it means competing in Belgate's enlistment tournament under false pretenses.
But when an army of darkness falls from the sky, thrusting her into a paranormal war that defies all logic, Alex gets much more than she bargained for.
Book 2: Ikelos
Two months have passed since the battle at Holly, and Alex has been working tirelessly to master her power. Training under the Command has taken a toll on her health, but she welcomes the distraction—anything to keep her mind off the elusive Rhean prince. No one has heard from Will since his departure, and while her peers implore her to wait for his alleged return, Alex has never known patience. Accompanied by two unlikely allies, she ventures into enemy territory to save her friend. But one rescue mission might just cost her everything.
Book 3: Ve'Rah Daa
After the attack on Havenbrooke, Alex Kingsley―social outcast turned war hero―is now the most powerful woman in Ells. But her life, along with Will's future and the fate of 2,000 prisoners, rests in the hands of the High Court. And the weeds have every reason to condemn her. It's up to Alex and her peers to shift their people's perceptions of women, enemies, and military precedents before the nation's antiquated foundations collapse. But to the west, Regulas is preparing his retribution, and humanity's clock is ticking.
