Heirs of the Blade

Tynisa, burdened by grief, guilt, and a ghost tied to her past, flees into the Dragonfly Commonweal hoping to find answers and some kind of place to belong. Her journey pulls her through a postwar society shaped by competing powers, old loyalties, and unresolved violence.

Che and Thalric follow after her, trying to reach her before the haunting that is reshaping her becomes irreversible. At the same time, the Wasp Empress Seda advances her own ambitions toward Khanaphes and its ancient power, creating a separate but increasingly connected pressure on the world around them.

As the book moves between these threads, it leans into shifting alliances, duels, political tensions, and the collision of magic, memory, and identity. The story gradually tightens the links between its characters and locations while setting up the larger conflicts still to come.
