ALL SHALL FALL

With the Fates united, Alira Verbrandt ventures into the arctic wastes of Clerracia, seeking the last artifact of the Illuri. The relentless pursuit from a forgotten enemy pushes her into the depths of the city’s desolation. Only to find a dangerous serpent hidden amongst her friends, watching as she plunges into darkness.

Defeated and betrayed, she washes ashore in Evenglacia, a continent with ancient and veiled secrets. There, her survival comes with a price: a dangerous allegiance binding her to a war beyond her control.

The Shattered Sword is rising, igniting a rebellion across the south. To destroy them, she must fight at Evenglacia’s side. But as she delves deeper into their continent’s shadowed heart, she discovers a truth that may help her topple the Empire, and turn enemy into ally.

But if she chooses wrong, there may not be a world left to save.
