Cohesion and Chaos (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993577616)

Weigh the cost. Measure the worth.

Ysella's diplomatic mission to prevent a war in Edros is halted as she is captured by the bounty hunter Ilai. Bound by chains and carted through the unforgiving lands of the Grey Hinterlands, she must battle the frigid cold of Winter and the apathy of her captor to survive the journey and discover who desires diplomacy nullified.

Twenty gold heads. That is her worth, and that is what motivates Ilai to press forward despite his acquisition. The details or purpose of the wanted poster is unimportant. What matters is the sum of the reward is enough to live off of for the rest of his life. But perhaps the reward is too good to be true.

The constant threat of death pulls the two opposites to set aside their differences in an effort to survive. From the beasts that hunt in the night to humans with nefarious intent, Ysella and Ilai discover their budding feelings and a threat that not only imperils their union but risks darkness upon the land. The weight of thousands rests on her shoulders. She must survive the journey to Ethyrnon Tower and find cohesion in the chaos.
