A Promise of Power—the explosive first installment in the Etherborn series—delivers a sweeping tale of power, war, and ancient magic. Perfect for readers who crave character-driven storytelling, rich world-building, and heart-pounding battles, appealing to fans of A Game of Thrones, The Priory of the Orange Tree, The Poppy War, and romantasy lovers alike.

Neith Dracos has lived nothing but war. The idea of it, at least. Trained since birth to be the catalyst for her father’s ambitions, she will have to decide if these ambitions are also her own.

Born a king’s bastard, Calithea Ironne has lived a life of privilege and peace. But she will soon find her world fractured as war comes to her home, uncovering long-kept secrets, shattering everything she knows.

All Nara Nyanthi wants is a quiet life with the woman she loves. As one of the most powerful wielders in the Esērii, she finds herself at odds with the High Council over their designs for her. When a long-feared war begins, Nara must choose where she stands and what she believes in.

Three women, unknown to one another, will soon find their lives intertwined as war rages and magic returns to the known world.

Despite the massive cast of characters, I never felt lost. Each person felt distinct, fully realized, like they’d walk right off the page which was a nice touch!
