About this series
Those who hold the secrets of the Fortresses can remake the world...
A new player has arrived at Horn Keep, and it's up to Amal to decide whether he's the key to keeping her people safe, or the threat they've feared the most. Aulis is, like Dalyan, a version of the same long-dead engineer, a Founder of the Salonen Fortress. That alone should make him worth keeping alive.
But he's served the Cince Empire for almost two decades, the very people who want to steal Salonen Fortress. Now Amal is faced with the task of deciding whether he's even capable of telling the truth, whether he can lie to Dalyan. The question is…are they the same man or not?
And is buying Aulis' loyalty worth the risk of giving him the one thing he wants more than life itself? It's within Amal's power, but she knows that doing so will forever change her people's world…

- Oathbreaker: The Horn, #1
1
Amal, Lady Horn, and her guards are charged with preserving one of the great secrets of Larossa: an abandoned Fortress.The chief of the Oathbreakers, Amal is one of only a handful of people aware of the true dangers the abandoned Fortress of Salonen presents. The Cince Empire wants its secrets, and will do anything to get someone inside. Now the Horn Family must decide whether to wake the sleeping Fortress so it can defend itself against the Cince…or kill it forever. Dalyan doesn't know why he was sent to find the abandoned Fortress, what makes it worth the time his masters invested in training him. When the Horn arrest him for trespassing on the glacier beneath it, he goes with them willingly enough. After all, he didn't return to his masters on schedule, and now they're trying to kill him. But more than that, he feels drawn to the abandoned Fortress, as if he belongs there…
- Original: The Horn, #2
2
Amal, Lady Horn, has always been called rash. She makes decisions far too quickly for the elders of the Horn Family. Bringing home a mysterious foreigner—one who has ties to her people's ancient enemies, the Cince—is bad enough, but now she's taken him as her lover. She might even want more from him. Dalyan is an Original, a copy of a man long dead. The elders of the Horn Family thought they could use his singular knowledge to resurrect an ancient Fortress, a sentient underground city long abandoned by its people. But when Dalyan can't access the memoires of the man from whom he's copied, the elders begin to ask whether he's an unfortunate liability instead. For Amal's sake, Dalyan is determined to prove them wrong. Together Amal and Dalyan work to build a coalition to raise the hidden Fortress, but they'll need the help of Amal's friends, of the Oathbreakers spread across the country, and—if possible—the king himself.
