Gates of Thiros (The War of Nine Kings)

Description

Waenia is no ordinary human, though she wears the mask of one to survive. Beneath her silence lies an ancient power, bestowed not as a gift, but a burden, tied to a mission no mortal should bear. The Gate of Light, once sacred, lies corrupted by the Lystrians: beings of shadow who feed on what they cannot create. To restore it, Waenia must unite the nine kings’ bloodlines, reclaim their shattered shards, and kindle the last light before darkness devours it forever. As war brews, alliances fracture, and a forbidden love threatens everything she’s built, every choice pulls her closer to her destiny . . . or further from it.

Love, betrayal, politics, and magic collide in a brutal fantasy where every choice could make—or break—the world.
