The Agartes Epilogues:
"...rich, deeply developed worldbuilding." -Courtney Schafer, author of The Whitefire Crossing "With each successive book, Villoso's skills grow stronger. Her characters are flawed, which means that sometimes I wanted to smack them upside the head. But it made them real, and it made me care..." -Quenby Olson, author of The Half Killed "...uses characters like a garrote to strangle your heart." -Julie Midnight, author of Wolf's Wife "A complex, intricately woven narrative--and the establishing of a rich, fascinating world." -Raffael Coronelli, author of Daikaiju Yuki Born under the crumbling towers of Oren-yaro, Queen Talyien's life unfolded like a storybook. The shining jewel and legacy of the bloody War of the Wolves that nearly tore her nation apart, her marriage to Rayyel, the son of her father's rival, spoke of peaceful days to come. But all storybooks must end. Rayyel's sudden departure before their reign began created fractures that left the land as divided as ever. Years later, Talyien receives a message from Rayyel, urging her to meet with him across the sea. An assassination attempt interrupts Talyien's quest for reconciliation, sending the queen struggling in a strange and dangerous land. With betrayals in every twist and turn, she is forced to enlist the help of a con-artist to survive and save her husband from the clutches of those who would seek to use him for their gain...if he would let her. less
