Shadows of Frey

elizabeann
LOYALTY BREAKS EASIER THAN BONE. Eighteen-year-old Tobias Frey would rather chew glass than endure another minute of his father’s scorn. When his first mission as an adult is to lead a squad into the rotting underbelly of post-collapse New Orleans, he seizes the chance to prove himself—even if his team sees him as nothing more than the commander’s failed heir. Their mission: Infiltrate the Weeping District, a skeletal ruin where air hums with the ghosts of old magic, and retrieve something—anything—that could turn the tide against Gwendolyn Crane, the war’s most enigmatic enemy. But the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: -Crane isn’t the butcher propaganda claims -The ruins remember—and they don’t forgive trespassers -The artifact they unearth was meant to stay buried Now, with his squad dying around him and his father’s obsession with the artifact spiraling into madness, Tobias must choose: obey orders and damn what’s left of his city, or betray his blood to stop what they’ve awakened.

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
