MASTERING THE GIRL #1

At a village celebration, Avestine and Kami begin a compulsive and contentious erotic relationship. When Darklaw soldiers attack seeking the bounty on Avestine, her legendary skill as a warrior saves them. Kami doesn’t understand her own craving for Avestine, nor the devotion of Rook, a man with no hands who follows Avestine like a shadow.

IN THE DARK WITH WHISKEY #2

Avestine tries to dominate Kami, but relents in favor of rough company. Deserting soldiers harass the town, and when forced to intercede, Kami is seriously injured. Bitter at the gods for what she feels they have done to her, Avestine executes soldiers one-at-a-time until Kami recovers.

THE TEMPLE AT SUNFALL #3

Avestine, Kami, and Rook arrive in Avjakar, where the king extends protection. Avestine describes her barbaric childhood and her family’s devotion to power, and Rook explains to Kami that she’s an Essanti who will serve Avestine. Learning about Avestine’s childhood devastates Kami and Rook’s faith surprises her.

AVESTINE is the Emissary of Darklaw, pursued by her insane brother who stole her throne and murdered her father.

ROOK is an Essanti, a spiritual warrior who will protect the Emissary from all threats, even when that means protecting her from herself.

KAMI is a whore’s daughter, naïve to few things except the ferocious power coming to life inside her, a power that will one day eclipse her legendary companions and usher in the end of the world.

About Darklaw…

Unrivaled in strength. Ruthless in judgment. Hedonistic in disposition. Avestine is everything her brutal father made her.

Avestine was warmaster and heir to the empire of Darklaw, but her brother murdered their father and made her an outlaw. Now, her brother sits on the throne of the world.

Her throne.

Avestine is still the spiritual leader of Darklaw. As the Emissary, she wields the divine power of Arujan to control the wills of men. The other gods enter the world as divine sparks within the Essanti, spiritual warriors bound to the Emissary through the ritual severing of their hands.

But the gods are not as Darklaw portrays. The empire maintains sovereignty through the systematic murder of unbound Essanti. Except that Avestine has allowed one to live.

A daughter of Chaos.
