Ishtar’s Blade:

As the childhood companion of King Ditanu, Iltani never doubted her place in either his kingdom or his heart.

Then duty called her away to complete her training.

Now, a woman grown and a sword-maiden to the goddess Ishtar, Iltani returns and takes up her sacred destiny to protect the royal line.

But so much has changed.

Ditanu most of all. The youth she knew is gone. A stoic, untouchable king now sits the throne.

Does anything of their once deep bond survive?

Iltani must swiftly find her place in a court where cunning governors plot treason, trusted advisers orchestrate deceptions, and noblewomen seek to beguile King Ditanu using methods both fair and foul.

But the greatest threat of all is no mortal adversary.

Ereshkigal, the Queen of the Underworld, desires to make Ditanu her consort and seize his kingdom for her own.

Blade’s Honor:

Rescued from her grandfather’s dungeon by the King of the Gryphons, Enkara only wishes to repay that great debt by serving as one of the elite Shadow Guards tasked with protecting the royal line.

Unfortunately, the gods have other plans.

She is one of the Goddess Ishtar’s avenging blades, born into the world when danger stalks the royal line.

Blade’s Destiny:

Tirigan, an escaped human slave, makes a desperate bid for his future by seeking out the young king who is said to abhor slavery. But Tirigan is too late and quickly finds himself back in the slave pens.

Asharru is still grieving her older brother’s death when the crown is thrust upon her. She knows none in her new court can be trusted. One of them is the mastermind behind her brother’s assassination.

She needs help and there is only one place left for her to seek it.

The slave markets of Nineveh.

There she plans to acquire a small group of slaves, free them, restore their dignity, and offer them positions as servants and spies.

She is soon drawn to one chained man. To her horror and hope, she recognizes him as one of Ishtar’s sacred Blades, a warrior born to protect the royal line.

The Blade’s Shadow:

When a queen rejected a thousand years of tradition and freed a slave and elevated him to a position of great power, it was only the beginning of their strange destiny.

First Queen of the Gryphons:

A hero still learning to be human…

Hillalum is destined to become a king unlike any other before him, for the Goddess Ishtar has endowed him with a special gift—he is the first gryphon capable of taking on human form.

Amata, a humble shepherdess, wishes only to live a peaceful life until raiders attack her village and kill her father and brother. A consuming need for revenge soon arises from that day.

When King Hillalum’s goddess orders him to watch over a human shepherdess, he thinks he’ll find the sheep more interesting than the woman, but once he meets Amata, he soon understands the full scope of his deity’s plans.

Ishtar wishes to transform Amata into the first of her Avenging Blades.
