The Iron Chest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069648211)

The Gods are at war. Jabrael is their weapon.

Once, she obeyed Amereld's iron laws. Now, imprisoned and confessing to her captors, she reveals the truth: she touched the demon Lumos, refused purification, and embraced monstrosity when survival demanded it.

This is not a chosen-one tale. It is the story of a woman who will shatter laws, betray loyalties, and sacrifice even her humanity to fight a war the rest of the world cannot see.
