Thorns, Feathers & Bones

She buried him a decade ago. Now he walks the earth again—and so begins the unravelling of empires. Queen Ioelena of Hildeheim has ruled the north through grief, fire, and blood. But the return of Connerh—the warrior she once loved and buried—shatters the fragile balance she’s fought to maintain. His reappearance stirs forgotten magic, exposes long-buried secrets, and threatens to reignite a war no one is ready for. In the south, a god-ruled slave city tightens its grip on the desperate. In the west, an ancient judgement stirs. And in the shadows between kingdoms, exiles, spies, and fallen heirs shape a future none of them fully understand. Across this fractured world, kings, queens, soldiers, and traitors grapple with prophecy, grief, and gods that no longer sleep. Among them, two broken souls drift toward each other—though neither yet knows the cost of what they’ve lost… or what they may become. Spies whisper through palace halls. Giants gather behind crumbling walls. And the elves—keepers of balance and justice—have begun to move. In this sweeping dark fantasy where vengeance wears a crown and love walks with death, the question isn’t who will survive... It’s what will remain of them when the gods are done.
