Four books. One war. A love story at the heart of everything.

The shoken have not fought in living memory. Most believe the Sturgar — massive, grey-skinned, carnivorous — are extinct, or close enough. Most are terribly wrong.

In the frozen north, Mag'Sood is building an army on the bones of shoken villages. He calls himself a god. His people believe him. He is patient, methodical, and in no hurry — because he has something the shoken king doesn't know about: a window into his inner circle. A marked man who doesn't know he's marked. A spy who has never told a lie.

The shoken king never wanted to rule. He is gentle, a little lost, and fiercely protected by the Crystal Bearers — eight life-bonded soldiers who feel his emotions as their own and cannot choose anything but his survival. Their leader is Sho: small, devastating, and armed with blades of linegold that move at the speed of thought. She has protected him since they were children. She does not intend to stop.

But the Healer her king has fallen in love with arrived bearing a mark Sho cannot see. And now the war she has spent her life preparing for is already inside the walls.

Crystal Bound is a complete four-book epic fantasy: a sweeping story of love and war, loyalty and betrayal, and what it costs to protect someone when the threat is already too close. Told through diverse characters — soldiers, healers, kings, and the children who inherit the world they leave behind.

Contains King's Assassin, Blood Compass, Flame Treader, and The Legend of the Sleepers.

Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, George R. R. Martin, Tasha Suri, Anna Smith Spark and R. F. Kuang.

Contains adult themes of violence, sexual content, and LGBT+ relationships throughout.
