The Books:

"Forget Me Not" – “Nothing feels right.”

The town of Marwheer, and the monster-infested mountains around it, are where Aiva calls home.

“It hasn’t for a while now.”

She lives as normal a life as she can, making her herbal remedies and helping a group of researchers who have come to document the monsters.

“Not with my memories fading away faster than they appear.”

But with her memory growing worse by the day, the question arises if she should be helping…

“How long until I’m gone?”

Or if she’s the one who is truly in need of help.

“If nothing else, I have good instincts.”

"Gradiare" – Pendry liked his peaceful life, living in the capital and working as a peace officer, until he suddenly found himself framed for a crime he didn’t commit by the corrupt and tyrannical King. After escaping the King’s Guard, he finds himself in the company of Jewel, who is doing her best to live quietly away from people on the edge of the woods. Pendry’s world is turned further on its head when he learns that the legends of magical creatures he heard of as a kid are actually real, and that the notorious gang, Gradiare, is the only hope to defeat the King.

Forced to work together, Pendry and Jewel travel to the Gradiare to help in an attempt to overthrow the King and bring freedom to a kingdom that has never known what it truly is to be free.

"Once a Lion" – The story continues as the Gradiare steps out of the shadows, leading a war against the King. Pendry is now a captain in the rebellion. Between leading his patrol in defense of the outer ring and helping plan an attack on the inner ring, Pendry struggles to balance this new life of war with his budding relationship with Jewel, the previous leader of the Gradiare.

Meanwhile, Jewel struggles with being denied a place in the ongoing war after her recent brush with death, and becomes fearful of losing those she loves and cares for by being kept away from active combat. Torn between her violent past as a powerful Commander and her newfound longing to create a peaceful life for herself and Pendry, Jewel fights to find her place in the Gradiare again while also battling a mysterious pain that begins to consume her nights.

"Always the Lion" – With Pendry injured and Jewel captured, the fates of the Gradiare and the kingdom hang dangerously in the balance.

While Pendry fights for his life, tormented by the unknown fate of Jewel, the Gradiare musters an army of old and new allies in preparation for a final confrontation with the King’s forces.

Also unaware of Pendry’s fate, Jewel struggles to endure torture at the hands of her enemies. Haunted by her present regrets and ruthless past, hope hangs on by a thread as she attempts to escape before her sanity runs out.
