Ode to the Empire (Chronicles of Eldhjarta, #1) / Chronicles of Eldhjarta (ePub)

"This job is more than a dance with death; it's a fool's leap into the abyss where getting caught means the Covenant might flay me, salt my wounds, burn me at the stake, and do it all over again, all while chanting demoralizing hymns in a false tone." —Armand

In the tumultuous Empire of Eldhjarta, dark forces ravage the land, enemies mass at the borders, and the specter of civil war looms large. Amid this chaos, Armand, a daring young thief with a knack for charming trouble, seizes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His fateful heist, however, becomes complicated when he crosses paths with a mysterious woman, making his escape all the more challenging.
Meanwhile, two valiant Imperial Rangers are thrust into the midst of growing chaos, tasked with solving the theft. As their mission progresses, they must also confront their growing, yet forbidden, feelings for each other. Under the oppressive shadow of the Covenant of the Light, which threatens to punish any acts of forbidden love, emotions intensify.
Amidst peril and passion, a glimmer of hope inspires our heroes to navigate a labyrinth of desire, loyalty, and deceit. Will they satisfy their innermost yearnings without succumbing to the darkness as the empire teeters on the brink of chaos, spurred by a mysterious dark army?
Dive into a narrative where fierce battles blend with whimsical, unforgettable characters, creating a compelling romance set against the backdrop of an epic fantasy world.
