The Severance Trilogy

Sainte Nore does not want to be a farmer. He does not want to be a trader or a store owner. He wants to be a Blade of the Night. He wants to fight the ravenous beasts they call Malignin; to defend Crearia from them. That’s why, when he turns seventeen, he does just that. Recently single, he leaves his family and everything he knows behind to go through Training to become a Blade. Sainte is determined to do what it takes to graduate, no matter who or what tries to get in his way. But when Training is almost over, he is given a unique assignment. One that changes everything.

Ellie the innocent. Sainte her keeper. Malignin the esurient. The Blades of the Night, a militia formed to keep the Malignin at bay, fight the creatures every night to keep them from the Barrier. But with The Blades of the Night's dwindling numbers and the nearly endless Malignin, it's only a matter of time before the Malignin get what they want.
