The Forgetting Moon (The Five Warrior Angels Book 1)

The Five Isles face invasion by the army of Sør Sevier, driven by the prophetic fervor of the Angel Prince, Aeros, as it moves toward conquering the last independent kingdom of Gul Kana. In this world, prophecies are lies, magic is believed in but never seen, and hope emerges unexpectedly. Gault, an elite Knight Archaic of Sør Sevier, grows disillusioned with the crusade he leads just as it reaches its greatest triumph. In Gul Kana, the eldest son of the fallen king now rules with increasing paranoid isolationism, while his two sisters pursue separate paths. Jondralyn, the older sister, seeks to prove herself as a warrior despite her renowned beauty. Tala, the younger, has uncovered a secret that threatens both her family and the kingdom. Hawkwood, an assassin sent to kill Jondralyn, falls in love with her instead and trains her in his deadly skills. All become entangled in dangerous court conspiracies. At the edge of Gul Kana, Nail, an orphan raised by the enigmatic Shawcroft in the remote whaling village of Gallows Haven, may hold the key to salvation for the entire Five Isles. Characters are not who they seem, nor do they fit expected roles.
