The Lost Warriors: The Nihryst, #0.1

By Cait Marie

Thief. Immortal Warrior. Cursed Forever?

Most people would be sentenced to death for stealing from King Henri. But not his childhood best friend Loxley. When he and his men are caught, Loxley is ordered to serve the king instead.

With a war brewing in the kingdom across the sea, King Henri sets a curse on the thieves and forces them to do his dirty work. As Loxley and his crew serve as soldiers and spies, stories quickly spread of the unstoppable gang, labeling them as the fierce immortal warriors known as the Nihryst.

After three years, the curse is supposed to be lifted, but Loxley knows that even then, their lives will never be the same.
