    About this series

    Rufyllys Vergana, the usurper, has stolen the throne from his adopted brother, Prince Ilruyn, plunging the empire of Navessea into civil war. The very first casualty of that war: Karthtag-Kal Sandaros, Marilia's father. With the help of Ben Espeleos, Prince of Svartennos, Marilia has sworn to bring the usurper and the rest of her father's killers to justice . . . including her own traitorous brother, Annuweth, now serving as the usurper's right hand.

    Annuweth has sworn an oath of his own-to protect his wife and their unborn child from the forces who mean to destroy them. To guard Rufyllys Vergana's reign against its enemies-even if one of those enemies is his own sister.

    Navessea's bloody civil war comes to a head in the third and final chapter of the Chrysathamere Trilogy. No one is safe, and no one will be the same. A story of love, loss and redemption, Children of Jade blends the ferocious twists of Game of Thrones at its best with a Last of Us-style saga of bitter revenge.

      Born the bastard daughter of a painted lady, Marilia was told she would live out her days within the walls of her mother's brothel, a companion for the rich men of Tyrace. But after a terrible betrayal, ten-year-old Marilia's world turns upside down. With the help of her twin brother, Annuweth, she flees the only home she's ever known in search of the one man who can offer her a chance at a better life: one of her deceased father's friends, the Emperor of Navessea's greatest general. What follows is a journey spanning years. Along the way, Marilia discovers the gift she has for strategy and warfare. When Navessea is threatened by a foreign invasion, the defense is left in the hands of an arrogant general no match for the empire's foes. With the fate of her new home and the woman she loves hanging in the balance, Marilia-now a young woman-swears to use all her courage and cunning to help repel the enemy. The struggle that follows will test her to her core. Facing treachery within her own ranks as well as a devious enemy commander, Marilia will need all the help she can get, even if it means doing something her brother may never forgive-making a pact with the man who murdered her father.

      The race for the throne of Navessea is on. The war with Tyrace is over. It was supposed to be a time of celebration. Of triumph. But for Marilia Sandara, hero of Chrysathamere Pass, the cost was too high. After watching her childhood friends slaughtered before her eyes, all she wants to do is sail back to Svartennos and try to forget the price she had to pay for her victory. But the peace isn't long to last. First comes the news that the woman Marilia loves may soon be engaged to another. Then, when Emperor Vergana makes a shocking announcement-that he means to disinherit his true-born son, Rufyllys, in favor of his adopted child, Prince Ilruyn-the seeds are sown that will plunge Navessea back into war. This time, Marilia and her twin brother, Annuweth, find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that threatens to undo all they fought for. By the time the dust settles and the killing stops, only one of the children of Karthtag-Kal may be left standing. The second book in the trilogy ups the intrigue and romance, while fans of the first book's battles will not be left wanting.

    Author

    Morgan Cole

    Bureaucrat by day, fantasy author by night, I began my writing career with several highly questionable life choices, such as a major in history and creative writing that was meant to lead to a glorious career as a fantasy author but instead led to the world of unpaid internships, minimum wage jobs, and a dingy, lightless apartment in small-town Ohio. I suppose I took all those motivational posters about shooting for the moon and landing among the stars far too seriously. Eventually, I decided to pursue an alternative career path (that actually allows me to pay rent) and to write my books on the side. Growing up, my father instilled in me a passion for ancient Greek and Roman history (especially all the battles!), while my brother helped immerse me in the imaginative worlds of Morrowind and Middle Earth. All those influences are very much present in my writing.
