Sisters of Sword and Song

Eight years have passed since Evadne last saw her older sister, Halcyon. When Halcyon unexpectedly returns from the queen’s army, not with accolades but as a fugitive accused of murder, Eva's world is turned upside down. Though Halcyon's life is spared, her sentence is brutal: fifteen years of servitude, including hard labor and imprisonment, to the house she allegedly wronged. Convinced of her sister's innocence and suspicious of the murky circumstances, Eva courageously volunteers to shoulder a portion of Halcyon’s heavy punishment. This decision leads her to the commander’s estate, where she must serve alongside the enigmatic and handsome mage, Damon. Thrown together by fate, Eva and Damon embark on a perilous quest to recover a powerful, ancient relic—a mission that could not only avert a kingdom-wide catastrophe but also unravel the truth behind Halcyon’s conviction and ultimately clear her name. As the sisters endure their separate, arduous sentences, they soon discover that the true threats lurking in the shadows are far more insidious than any prison walls, and some destinies are worse than death itself.
