The Sunderer's Requiem

In a world choked by the Creeping Gloom, a plague that feasts on death and despair, a sheltered princess feels every wound to the land as if it were her own. Imprisoned by her tyrannical father's war-a war that only feeds the blight-Princess Gabrielle must escape her gilded cage and embrace a forbidden magic that connects her to the world's dying soul.

Her only hope is an impossible alliance with the scattered heirs of forgotten dynasties: a grim rebel leader who has sworn to kill her, a cynical fire-wielding mercenary with a dangerous secret, and a fugitive scholar who holds the key to a last-ditch ritual. Together, they must journey to the mythical Isle of Whispers to perform the Convergence, a working of ancient power that is the world's only chance for survival.

But the path to salvation is paved with a horrifying truth. As they are hunted by the King's armies, a charismatic prophet seeking to usurp a god's power, and fleets from every kingdom, they discover the ritual demands a price far greater than blood. To mend the world, a soul must be forfeit. They must not only survive the war for the world's future but also choose which of them will be the ultimate sacrifice.
