Iron and Ether Volume 3

Book Three of the Blessed Epoch Sasha was born to, and has always defined himself by, the secret assassins' Order of the Crimson Scythe. He chose the love of Yarrow L'Estrella and Duncan Purefroy over his duty to his clan, forfeiting his last mission and allowing Prince Garith to live. Now, the order-previously Sasha's family-has branded him a traitor. He's marked, and that means the brethren of the Crimson Scythe won't stop until Sasha is dead. Garith's twin kingdoms balance on the brink of war, and all three men have reasons to help the king, whether loyalty, duty, the interests of their own lands, or gold in their pockets. Still, Yarrow and Duncan are willing to abandon their reasons to seek out and destroy the assassins' order to keep Sasha safe. But Sasha isn't sure that's what he wants. Loyalties are strained by both foreign invaders and conspirators in their midst. It's hard to know which side to choose with threats piling up from every direction and war looming, inevitable, on the horizon. Their world teeters on the precipice of change, and Sasha, Duncan, and Yarrow can only hope the links they've forged will hold if Garith's kingdom is torn apart.
