General Valerie, commander of the human legions, returns in triumph—only to find her family slaughtered and her parents' souls imprisoned. King Edmund, who once promised her the crown, has broken his oath and submitted to the Archbishop. Valerie reclaims command of her armies, slays those who murdered her kin, but is soon cornered by the Archbishop, who holds her parents' souls and the lives of her entire legion as leverage. Forced into an alliance with Raven, lord of Black Keep, she leads her human legions in a counteroffensive against the capital. They dismantle the old system, punish the king, and strike down the Archbishop himself. In the end, Valerie rejects the crown she once sought and establishes a new order—one built on freedom, not thrones.

Reborn in a post-apocalyptic world, she uses hidden knowledge and a secret edge to grow stronger alone, all while protecting those she loves most.

Things got complicated when my treacherous neighbors, Jack and Katie, demanded food. I saw through their plans and refused. A conflict brewed as they plotted a raid, but I was already one step ahead.

Noah Sterling, the Sterling clan's prodigy, awakened a Black Gold Core at thirteen. But a fire drained it, making him a "Dead Core" outcast. At his awakening test, his fiancée rejected him, his cousin crushed his pride, and he lost inheritance. Then his mother's ring awakened; Orion revealed half his core was stolen—the rest sealed the Eclipse Flame, a city-destroying blaze. Using that fire, Noah reforged his body, made elixirs, broke arrays, slew enemies. He rose against seven great houses, uncovering the truth about his parents and the usurped Star-Ash Throne.
