Publisher's Synopsis
'The hydra regarded her with all eighteen of its cruel eyes. It had withdrawn a few dozen feet, perhaps to nurse the burbling newborn heads the moment it would take them to become full grown. How long could she keep those salivating mouths at bay? She was trained, yes, but was she truly up to the task of cutting down a hydra with blade alone?
As the sword's familiar weight settled in her grip she found her answer, determination and a surety of purpose shouldered any doubt aside. She was Helvetica D'Arnise, Knight of Otor. The dawn come to chase away the dark.'
In a land where Heaven fell and the gods fell with it, this is a story of love, courage and two women trying to live their lives in a world of magic, mystery and monsters both malevolent & mundane.
Hellie is a Knight, oathed to defend the innocent from the Fellspawned beasts unleashed upon the world by Heaven's fall. On her sword and on her life, she has made this promise and means to keep it.
Nerestine is a self-taught Sorceress, whip-smart and fully capable of wielding the powers of creation on a whim. She has set her heart on the Knight whom she loves and will do whatever it takes to save Hellie from her own foolish bravery that routinely plunges her into danger.Together they have journeyed to the Godsmote Vale where Hellie has just been made Lady Protector to a quiet little village on the edge of the holy lands. A place where the pair fully intend to spend the rest of their lives in domestic bliss. Yet when monsters out of myth threaten their new home at the behest of a mysterious villain, the two must fight for a future they'd thought they'd already won and discover that 'Happy ever after' is where the real adventure begins...
