The Faoii have protected Clearwall with both magic and blade for generations. But when her monastery is attacked and her sisters slaughtered, only young Kaiya-faoii is left alive.

Forced to cope without the long-standing traditions of her Order, Kaiya travels the country on a mission to avenge her sisters and preserve what is left of her heritage. The search brings her not only to dark discoveries and ancient family secrets, but to something she never wanted or dreamed of: a brother she never knew she had.

Thrust into a war at the heart of a broken empire, the siblings must evaluate the true meanings of enemy, betrayal, and freedom – and the gray areas surrounding each. Kaiya slowly learns the true state of the world outside her monastery’s walls, the dangers of the poisonous army that is slowly covering the land, and of her own innate abilities gifted by the Goddess.

Faoii Betrayer is the riveting and highly-anticipated 2nd novel in the Faoii Chronicles.

Two centuries after the Godfell War, Ilahna knows that the only way to survive in Clearwall is to be faster and smarter than everyone else. She stays on her toes, steals what she needs… and never EVER mentions magic.

Because magic is the way of the Faoii, and witches get burned in Clearwall.

Being silent isn’t always enough, though, and when her brother starts manifesting mysterious powers, Ilahna knows they don’t have much time.

Alone and hunted, the siblings must unbury a lifetime’s worth of lies and secrets and evade the Proclaimers’ grasp…or find themselves lashed to the pyre like all the Faoii that came before.

Faoii Ascended is the thrilling and unforgettable conclusion to the Faoii Chronicles.

The Old Gods have returned to Imeriel. As one of the few people who can hear Their Call, Ehryn, a simple launderer, is expected to lead Clearwall to greatness.

Along with several others–a warrior destined to rule Clearwall, a spirited child with infinite knowledge, and an enigmatic Faoii as their guide– Ehryn is sent to uncover the will of the Old Gods and act as destiny’s harbinger. But Clearwall has always been built atop buried secrets, and as ancient beings being to rise again, dark forces stitch the final threads of a grim Tapestry that stems from the very beginning of the Faoii Order.

Can Ehryn and her companions escape a trap that’s circled Imeriel for millennia? Or will they fall beneath the machinations of deities lost to time?
