The Bones of An Empire
(2027)(The first book in the Witches of Elmyre series)
A novel by Lysandra Glass and Leigh Kelsey
Six of Crows meets The Thirteen of Throne of Glass in this epic, morally grey fantasy romance.
IT BEGINS WITH AN ASSASSIN…
The kill should have been easy, but the Guild of Assassins were deceived. We were never meant to slay the lethal hunk of muscle who calls himself Vanora the Monstrous. Instead, we were tricked into freeing him from his dark prison. The last witch, now free to reign terror across the world.
A DEADLY MISSION…
We should be executed for our crime, but the Lord Minister gives me and Rennan—my sly, deviously handsome best friend—a single chance: hunt Vanora, find the last remaining amulet of power, and destroy them both. Or face an execution by fire.
AND ENDS WITH A WITCH…
But the witch kingdom was conquered by human armies a decade ago, and no magic or amulets survived the pyres. Searching for one beats being executed for treason, but when I’m forced to work with Vanora, I uncover world-shattering secrets. This hunt could change the fates of two great empires.
The Bones of an Empire is the first book in a dangerously addictive dark fantasy romance for adults, where wicked magic is stirring anew, true evil lies in the hearts of mortals, and two assassins and a revenge-hungry witch are caught in a web of secrets and trickery.
Tropes:
