The Ninthborn Chronicle: Complete Collection
(2023)(A book in the Ninthborn Chronicle series)
An omnibus of novels by J E Holmes
Princess Ediline has been disliked, feared, shunned, and abused because she is the accursed Ninthborn.
She has no idea what destiny has in mind for her.
Ninthborn
When her family and kingdom is threatened with a terrible magic relic—the bloodsword—she is left out in the cold with no one on her side. Even those threatened by the weapon conspire to get it, to use it, to kill and dominate. It looks like the only one intent on not using it is Ediline—so, she takes it and runs.With the help of her new partner, Javras, and a small handful of friends, Ediline has to do the impossible: stop her family from waging war without bloodshed.
Endbearer
With her place secure in her twin brother's new regime, Ediline thinks she might have a chance to breathe. Not likely. Soon, she is confronted by the mythic Traitor, even though he has been dead for seven hundred years. At the same time, her kingdom stands trial for past atrocities. The summons comes from a fervent young templar who could be Ediline's worst enemy—or just the ally she needs.While trying to piece together clues from the past and avert Desolation, Ediline must bring the terrible weapon she guards into the heart of the nation most egregiously wounded by it—and the one that most covets it. With only Javras, her friends, and two of her many siblings on her side, what hope does she have?
Shadowalker
Ediline and her allies are pushed to the brink and forced to retreat. She continues to gain mysterious new powers the longer she holds the bloodsword, and while she is hesitant to use them, they are the only advantage that her resistance has against the greatest enemy.With utter Desolation looming and hope dwindling, can Ediline use her power to save everyone? And if she does, will she survive?
