Time of Daughters I

by Sherwood Smith

Published 27 September 2019

In a time of change and danger, peace sparks to war, and sons become daughters...

It’s nearly a century after the death of Inda, the unbeatable Marlovan commander. Danet and Arrow, content in their arranged marriage, just want to live in peaceful obscurity and raise their family. But when a treaty sends them to the royal city to meet the heir to the throne, they discover that peace is fragile, old enemies have long memories, and what you want isn't always what you get.

By the time they learn that you can’t go back again, events ignite a conflagration that no one could have foreseen—except for the ghosts who walk the walls in the royal city.

This is the first half of an epic story of politics, war, family and magic in the beloved world of Sartorias-deles.

Time of Daughters II

by Sherwood Smith

Published 23 November 2019

In a time of rising danger, women go to war, and ghosts walk the walls...

A few years have passed since the Night of Four Kings, when the least expected candidates for rulership found themselves in charge of a disintegrating kingdom.

These years of tenuous peace see their children reach adulthood, but threats from the border become raids, aided by vicious brigands.

The two princes, Noddy and Connar, newly emerged from the military academy, are dispatched to patrol the troubled area until they find themselves under attack.

Their loyalty to one another is strong, but what happens when one brother discovers a taste for war and the other a loathing for it?

Matters of marriage and love tangle up with the menace of war. But the greatest threat of all comes when the world’s strongest army faces enemies from within.

This is the concluding half of an epic story of politics, war, family and magic in the beloved world of Sartorias-deles.
