A Dance of Fire and Shadow Series

The powerful Fae warrior was a mystery. Her origins were not Elvish from the Western Isles, but neither were they Djinn of the Annubian deserts or Kaan from the forested swamplands of Rapathia. The warring tribes of Eldaran hailed her as the leader they had been waiting for. Someone who at last could win their freedom from the powerful Elementals who had dominated their lives for too long.

Blade adepts are hated and feared–and ultimately hunted down and killed. She has no choice. It's her only chance to rescue her sister from capture and slavery by the the ruthless Rapathian invaders. It feels like a desperate but simple decision until she meets Marin, Captain of the Eldrin, the elite force protecting King and realm from attack. Pledged to fight invaders, they are also sworn to capture and kill dangerous Blade adepts.

As the ruthless Imperial invasion tightens its grip on Samaran, Ariel's fighting skills earn her a cautious acceptance from the elite Eldrin defenders. This new trust does not last long. A confrontation with her arch enemy Akadian in the frozen Northlands pitches her into a race against time to prove her loyalty before her past catches up with her.

In a last desperate attempt save Samaran from the invaders, Ariel ventures into the scorching deserts of Annubia to train with the deadly Nishan assassins.

Somewhere deep in the wild swamplands of Rapathia there will be a final confrontation with evil forces that could yet overrun the whole of the known world. She joins the elite team of Eldrin defenders to search for the original cause of the war, only to discover far more than they bargained for. Meanwhile, back in Samaran, Ariel's sister is once more in danger from unexpected sources as she investigates traitors perilously close to the king and crown prince.
