The Ghosts Series

Once CAINA AMALAS was the shy daughter of a minor
nobleman, content to spend her days in her father’s library.

Then sorcery and murder and her mother’s treachery
tore her life apart.

Now she is a nightfighter of the Ghosts, an elite
agent of the spies and assassins of the Emperor of Nighmar. She is
a master of disguise and infiltration, of stealth and the
shadows.

And she will need all those skills to defend the
Empire and stay alive.

Corrupt lords scheme and plot in the shadows,
desiring to pull down the Emperor and rule the Empire for their own
profit and glory. Slave traders lurk on the fringes of the Empire,
ready to seize unwary commoners and sell them into servitude in
distant lands. Yet both slave traders and cruel lords must beware
the Ghosts.

The Magisterium, the Imperial brotherhood of
sorcerers, believe themselves the rightful masters of the Empire.
With their arcane sciences, they plan to overthrow the Empire and
enslave the commoners, ruling all of mankind for their own benefit.
Only the Ghosts stand in the path of their sinister plans.

And the Moroaica, the ancient sorceress of legend and
terror, waits in the shadows, preparing to launch a war upon the
gods themselves. She will make the gods pay for the suffering of
mankind...even if she must destroy the world to do it.

Caina Amalas of the Ghosts opposes these mighty
enemies, but the cost might be more than she can bear.
