CASIA CALDWELL
EPIC FANTASY AUTHOR
A newly ascended sidhe compelled to protect the citizens of her kingdom.
A lord obligated to keep her in line while trying to change a world’s fate in exchange for her help.
A kingdom where you must not take anyone’s word for granted.
A world slipping into darkness, and two powers either destined to save or destroy it.
In a secluded land ruled by mortals, thirteen sidhe warriors form the Sentinel Guard to defend the people from supernatural threats. Upon discovery of a sidhe, a series of deadly duels, known as the Ordeals, are invoked. On the autumnal equinox, a mysterious demon attacks Asteria and her father. In an outburst of power leaving half of the city leveled, her father passes, and the beast vanishes. Amongst the cinders, her best friend turns her in to the authorities.
With the Sentinel Guard at capacity, the King of Blackthorne invokes the Ordeals, and as she prepares to duel members of the Guard, he takes a particular interest in her. Asteria finds herself unable to control her newfound power and unprepared for the first, even when King Roderick employs a foreign lord with twin abilities to assist her.
But when Asteria sees Kallan with the Sentinel who stood by idly while she was turned in, she becomes wary of his help. As chaos descends and deadly mists slip in, she is left questioning whether to trust the institution she has known her whole life or the strangers she just met.
To those who live through lines on a page,
May you go on adventures they could never dream of.
