Her Sword at Sundown

For thirteen years, Elsinth Vardock has lived by the sword.

Raised in the battlegrounds of the Capital and forged into one of the deadliest warriors the realm has ever known, she earned the title of Lioness after turning the tide of the War of the Barbarians at the Battle of the Bulkhead. Her blade, Nemina, has become legend. Her victories are sung in taverns, recorded in history, and whispered about by enemies across the water.

Now the war is over.

The kingdoms celebrate peace. Soldiers return home. The realm begins rebuilding.

But for Elsinth, peace is far more terrifying than war.

As old loyalties fracture, buried wounds surface, and whispers of a new conflict begin to stir beyond the horizon,

Elsinth must confront a question she has never been allowed to ask: When the war ends, the hardest battle may be learning how to live.
