Epic Saints

Sister Adamanthea is a Repentia redeemed, restored to her beloved Sororitas and hailed as a ‘living miracle’. But behind closed doors she is haunted by a sin she believes can never be forgiven. Paraded in front of the countless pilgrims of the garden-temple of Concordia, how can she speak of faith when her own is so uncertain? When an aeons-old conspiracy finally triggers, Adamanthea must prove herself the legend she is claimed to be, or risk the forces of Chaos pulling back the shroud of lies and shattering the faith of an entire world.

In a ruined temple on a dying world, a man without a past promised the Red Sword of her tribe that he would protect her daughter...and then he lost her. Flung into a very different world, Talin had been forced to navigate this strange new realm as he searched for the girl Valyra. He had held true to his word, finally rescuing her from the Shriven. But after a betrayal by one of his companions, she is now in the clutches of the mysterious Contessa, and he must once again return to the City of Masks. Only now, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Pursued by the cultists of the Cleansing Flame, Talin and his beautiful companions must flee the City of Masks and find refuge in the Grand and Enlightened Empire of Zim. If the rumors are to be believed, then the sorceress with whom he had fled a dying world might also be waiting for him somewhere among the endless grasslands and obsidian-sheathed peaks of the Twilight Empire. But there is great danger lurking in Zim - a half-mad demigod and the demonic Shriven also seek Talin and the key he carries that can open pathways between the worlds....

Three thousand years ago, the world fell into darkness, when the great black mouth of the Rot ravaged the land. Across the glorious library city of Aradabar, its dark tongues hammered down, leveling the glass towers of learning and entombing the bookyards in a thick blanket of lava. Only a single child survived the devastation: an infant with a prophecy carved into his skin, promising the rise of a hero powerful enough to slay the Rot for good. Now that child is a young man, beginning to question the meaning of his many scars.

Narina has barely recovered from the madness that consumed her soul when she is forced to confront the crowlord Damanja, who has risen to mastery on the plains, and now seeks total domination. Even as Narina unites the sword temples against the crowlord, a demon king brings fire from the underworld, while dragon demigods of the mountains bury the land in snow. If Narina doesn't quickly stop the crowlord and lead her fellow sword warriors against these threats, her world will be destroyed by fire and ice.

With Narina caught in a nightmare struggle against the same curse consuming warriors from the other sword temples, it falls on her sister Katalinka to lead the bladedancers, while simultaneously making peace with former rivals from the warbrand and firewalker temples. The three temple warriors track Narina to the plains, where they find her locked in a struggle with the most powerful of the remaining crowlords. If she loses, the crowlord will take her life and steal her power, but by winning, Narina will become invincible, and lost to her friends forever.

As other sword masters are called to the fight, Narina finds herself hunted by a warrior from a rival temple. He is a warbrand, powerful and experienced, and trapped by a curse that will see him kill any and all rivals. With her sister - a fellow blade dancer and sword master - seeking allies from the doomed firewalker temple, it falls on Narina to face the warbrand alone.

When we left the Brothers Magnus, they had assembled in Cardice to help Anton Magnus defend the castle from attack by a neighboring state with a significant military advantage and several officers who, at any moment, could request help from saints - or, depending on your perspective, from the devil. But Cardice has a secret weapon in the form of young Wulfgang Magnus, who can ask a few favors of his own from these devil-saints. The only problem is that Wulf is in love with Madlenka, the countess from Cardice who was forcibly married to Anton to explain why he’s suddenly leading the country.

When Narina’s father is murdered, the young sword master leaves the bladedancer temple to find her father’s killer among the crowlords of the plains. Together with a temple elder and her favorite apprentice, they enter the lowlands to discover that the crowlords have plunged the land into war, and worse, that they are aware of the temple warriors in their midst. It soon becomes clear that Narina has been called to join a larger conflict: The rise of the legendary Sword Saint, a warrior with the ability to single-handedly defeat an entire army.
