La sonnolenta quotidianità in cui il capitano Marcus d'Ivoire e il suo piccolo esercito sono risucchiati, rassegnati a finire i propri giorni in un remoto avamposto, è stravolta dallo scoppio di una ribellione ai margini dell'impero Vordanai, che li costringerà alla dura prova della difesa di una fortezza ai margini del deserto. Winter Ihernglass si è arruolata nell'esercito fingendosi un uomo, con il solo scopo di sfuggire al suo passato. Coraggio e determinazione non le mancano, e insieme alla sua umanità le faranno ottenere in breve una promozione a luogotenente.

Il re di Vordan giace sul letto di morte. Presto sua figlia Raesinia Orboan gli succederà al trono, ma il regno è minacciato da uomini ambiziosi, e povertà e speculazione stanno spingendo la popolazione allo stremo. È questo lo scenario che si presenta agli occhi di Janus, Winter e Marcus quando giungono nella capitale dopo essersi separati dal reggimento dei Coloniali.

Davi isn't your average zoomer. For starters, she's somehow become trapped in a fantasy world - and not one full of rainbows and unicorns, but one packed with all manner of terrifying monsters and deadly magic. Proper Lord of the Rings stuff. And, for reasons unknown, the humans of the Kingdom look to her for protection against the Dark Lord. To make matters worse, Davi's stuck in a time loop. So every time she fails to defeat the Dark Lord (which is every time) she has to start over. But Davi has a plan. What if instead of trying to defeat the Dark Lord...she becomes the Dark Lord instead?

But a new conflict is looming, and brother and sister Maya and Gyre have found themselves on opposite sides.

And Maya will have to seek out a legendary weapon hidden in the mountains that could turn the tide in their battle for freedom.
