Aureate Sight

Life is easy but monotonous in rural Trithen. Yet Brysta Hawthorne doesn't mind, so long as she can drink, gamble, and maintain her unfettered but highly illegal access to Trithen's Archives. That easy-going life takes an unexpected turn, however, when the captain of the Guard suddenly shows up at her family home, demanding that she leave with him. With Falgrave Castle in flames, destruction settling upon Trithen, and her aunt and uncle dead, Brysta has little choice but to comply.

***

Captain Wayvann Ashvale knew he would one day escort Trithen's Aggregate to safety; he just never imagined it would happen so soon-and amid a coup d'état. With Brysta in tow and the region's morality cult ravaging the city in pursuit, Vann flees into the mountains, where they have a chance of survival.

***

Lohan Farbrow's task was simple. Meet up with the captain; escort the Aggregate to Westhill Monastery. But when his plans are overturned, Lohan is forced to question the motives of the abbot general and his brothers who continue to adhere to the monastery's faith.

As competing factions race to claim Brysta, Vann, and Lohan struggle to keep her from the converging danger, fending off combat-forged monks and battling dogmatic cult members, all while navigating the complex undercurrent of political intrigue threatening to dissolve Peora's monarchial order.

With her power growing and options rapidly disappearing, Brysta thrashes against the unavoidable destiny set forth by the lone figure overseeing the entire effort. But not all is as it seems, and rumors abound that she holds within her a truth so powerful that it could rewrite the fabric of the universe. If only she knew it herself.
