The Heir to the North

The Heir to the North

Malessar's Curse: Book 1

Steven Poore

"Caenthell will stay buried, and the North will not rise again until I freely offer my sword to a true descendant of the High Kings--or until one takes it from my dying hands!"

With this curse, the Warlock Malessar destroyed Caenthell. The bloodline of the High Kings disappeared and the kingdom faded into dark legend until even stories of the deed lost their power. But now there is an Heir to the North.

Cassia hopes to make her reputation as a storyteller by witnessing a hardened soldier and a heroic princeling defeat Malessar and his foul curse. But neither of her companions are exactly as they appear, and the truth lies deep within stories that have been buried for centuries.

As Cassia learns secrets both soldier and warlock have kept hidden since the fall of Caenthell, she discovers she can no longer merely bear witness. Cassia must become part of the story; she must choose a side and join the battle.

The North will rise again.

The High King's Vengeance

The High King's Vengeance

Malessar's Curse: Book 2

Steven Poore

"I am the Heir to the North."

Malessar's curse is broken, the wards around Caenthell destroyed. The Warlock lies, exhausted and gravely wounded, in the rubble of his own house. And while the dire spirits that have been trapped behind his wards for centuries are unleashed into the world once more, Cassia is confined to a cell, deep in Galliarca's grand palace.

Yet Caenthell calls to her, and Cassia must answer. As Heir to the North, the throne and the power behind it belong to her. But the twisted hunger of Caenthell's spirits appals her, and Cassia vows to do everything she can to defeat them.

Now, Cassia must convince both Galliarca and Hellea that they have to stand against the resurrected High King of Caenthell. She must raise an army from nothing, forge uncertain alliances with princes and dragons, and fight her way into the heart of the North. And, if she is lucky, someone may live to tell her tale.

"Fear Me."
