Scepter
3 primary works Complete
Book 1
Who—or what—will you become, when the power to rule all is in your hand?
Whoever holds a scepter, rules a gate. Whoever holds the scepter that rules all others, rules the world. A ruthless shadow magi, a cunning thief, a loyal fugitive, and a charming rogue will hunt—and be hunted—for the most powerful object in the land.
But only one hand can hold the scepter—and a legacy of blood follows its grip. Take care in what you desire. Be careful in what you reach for. Beware the House of Scepters.
In an age of myth, four characters struggle to rise above their families and pasts amidst a landscape of wonder, despair, war, and love.
The first book in a trilogy about unbreakable bonds, powerless characters discovering their own power, and powerful characters realizing their weaknesses, the House of Scepters is an action adventure story that features four protagonists from different segments of a ruthlessly expanding empire.
This series contains strong found family themes and rising above one's origin story and birth. Other themes that are explored in this series are power, love, sacrifice, trust, abuse, and becoming who you want to be.
Trigger warnings: Characters discussing past abuse; power dynamics.
Book 2
Who—or what—will you choose, when the shadows close around you?
Taline will do anything to get back to Nin.
Rone will do anything to keep the scepter from the emperor's hand.
Nin will do anything to leave her past behind as she is forced to confront it amid bloody battlefields, relentless assassins, and the emperor's glittering and diabolical court.
And Kaveh, as he wrecks worlds with Nin at his side... Kaveh starts to think he will do anything to bind Nin to him permanently.
Madness lurks, bonds of steel are forged, power reigns, and loyalty is put to the ultimate test.
And to all, beware—the House of Scepters never died.
Book 3
Unmasked, hunted, devastated, revealed... Kaveh, Nin, Taline, and Rone must decide what is worth fighting for—and who can be trusted to change the world.
