Celestial Court: Looming Shadows

NOTE: BOTH Introductory Novellas are included for free in the main book: A Truth of Blood. I wanted to make it easy for new readers to pick up and go. And I thought it would just be something nice to do for everyone. But if you prefer a smaller sampling size before jumping into a large novel, these are perfect for you!

Invectors, the most elite special forces in the world of Elestria. Working from the shadows, these magically enhanced men and women do whatever it takes to ensure the continued dominance of their home country, Officially, Invectors are known to hunt arcane terrorists, mages that use their power to strike out against a system that some see oppressive, while other mages value the security and stability Hestasio offers them.

One such mage, a man named Lazlo fights for revenge against the countless mages wronged under previous administrations. But his actions draw the attention of perhaps the most dangerous man the intelligence world knows of, Kaylen Saylus, the First Invector.

Renowned and feared, Kaylen leads the Invector organization. Known for accomplishing the impossible, Kaylen sets out after his newest quarry.

High Chancellor of Hestasio, Roland Treiz fights his own battles, from outside and within. Doing his best to tame the unwieldy political serpents of his country, Roland is massively popular with the people and is known for forcing reforms in, breaking from majority vote traditions, gaining allies and enemies alike.

But ancient forces lurk in the shadow, and once slumbering powers awaken, threatening to break the spine of the mightiest nation in the world.

Kaylen, Roland, and Lazlo will find themselves thrust into a conflict older than the bones of the planet, and it may already be too late.

How can one catch a shadow?
