The Spirit of a Rising Sun

Rebellion is always right.

Oyza was raised to obey. Now she yearns to revolt.

Condemned to a lifetime in the damp dungeons beneath the castle, she survives on smuggled texts from the Ungoverned, rebels whispered to live without kings.

Then Yars arrives.

A charming but reckless thief, Yars wants little to do with Oyza’s dreams of revolution. But when a sudden attack throws the castle into chaos, they escape together.

Now free, Oyza is determined to find the rebellion hidden deep in the untamed swamps of her ruined homeland. But the ruthless commander she once served is closing in.

As Vaaz descends into a war of fleets and gunpowder, Oyza must discover what revolution demands beyond the pages of forbidden books—and what it will demand of them all.

When blood is spilled, how much will be their own?
