The Tuonetar Cycle-The Swords of

The War is over. The Necromancer is dead. But the world he left behind is a broken one - cities haunted by the living dead, old kingdoms reduced to ash and ghost towns, and survivors struggling to make sense of a peace that tastes like defeat.Bren, a bard in exile, wanders the moors of a blighted land in search of redemption. Kaia the Valkyrie, daughter of a god, finds herself caught between duty and destiny on the vast steppes of Tiros. And through it all, the shadow of Tuonetar - goddess of death - stretches long over the living.Their paths converge across a continent still scarred by war, where the border between the dead and the living is more suggestion than law, and where the most dangerous enemies wear human faces.Some swords are forged in iron. Others, in grief.
