Synopses

Furyborn

After assassins attack her closest friend, Rielle Dardenne exposes herself as one of a prophesied pair: a queen of light and a queen of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, she must survive seven elemental magic trials, where failure means execution.

One thousand years later, bounty hunter Eliana Ferracora’s life changes when her mother disappears. Joining a rebel captain, she uncovers a darkness at the centre of the Undying Empire that is worse than she expected.

Kingsbane

Now anointed Sun Queen, Rielle’s challenges continue as the Gate holding back the angels begins to fail. To mend it, she must find seven hidden castings of the saints, while spying on the angel Corien as she tries to protect Celdaria alongside Audric.

Centuries later, Eliana grapples with being named the Sun Queen and humanity’s saviour. With her power unstable and danger closing in, she races to save her dying friend Navi and must choose whether to embrace her mother’s power or reject it.

Lightbringer

Pushed away from those she loves, Queen Rielle turns to Corien and his promises of glory as whispers from the empirium urge her to open the Gate. Separated from Audric and Ludivine, she accepts the role of Blood Queen and commits to becoming what the world believes her to be.

In the future, Eliana reaches the Empire’s capital feeling betrayed and abandoned. Struggling to contain her power, she faces Corien’s determination to return to Rielle, even if it means destroying Eliana.
