The Orphans of Nilad: Book 1 of The Nosam Chronicles (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781962341912)

In the fractured ward of Nilad, four outcasts are drawn together by a single, mysterious note. Nameless but urgent, it promises danger, answers, and perhaps the one thing they all crave but no longer fully believe in: a way home.

EoC was raised among nobility and taught that power exists to serve the people, even when the people no longer believe in their rulers. Kaida fights for what remains of her family, her loyalty as sharp as the arrows she lets fly to protect her chosen circle. Dinger, once little more than muscle and instinct, begins a deep transformation as the weight of his axe gives way to the stirrings of his heart. And Kekron, hardened by a life of isolation, must confront the most dangerous question of all-what trust truly costs when you've always stood alone.

Their path through Nilad is soaked in blood, in bone-jarring strikes and battles that are as brutal as they are precise. Around them, politics churn-ancient dynasties, generational legacies, and a complex magic system that tangles power, fear, and control. And at the center of it all lies the Amulet of Planes, a relic rumored to bridge worlds. Finding it could change everything-not just for them, but for the universe itself. Because every choice sends ripples outward, and love, in all its forms, may be the most dangerous force of all.
