The Deimachy Trilogy: A Crown of Blood, On Winds of Ruin & With Scars of Spirit
Lincoln Law's debut fantasy YA trilogy, now bound into a single volume.
For lovers of Shadow and Bone and Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere, comes The Deimachy, a fantasy trilogy about sacrifice, destruction and the cost of war.
A Crown of Blood A bloodthirsty army. A long-forgotten god. A power believed lost.
Roisin Latenda is a Groundformer Acolyte in training, a person with the ability to manipulate the earth. Long ago—before the people rose up, killed their Gods, and fashioned their corpses into weapons—these powers could move mountains, form cities, shift countries. Now with the Gods dead, the powers are weaker, but humanity controls it. And wrestling power from the gods was always about autonomy.
When a powerful army arrives in Roisin’s small village, supported by an unknown god named the Soulmonger, all is sent into chaos. They ravage the village, killing many, and force Roisin to choose between those she loves, and her duty to her Groundformer training.
But Roisin’s life isn’t the only one to be horrifically transformed by the Soulmongers’ arrival. Piritta, the political aspirant, will find her drive for power warped in the most terrible way. Bree, the apprentice cartographer, will have to face her past; a past bathed in blood. And Kaori, whose porcelain mask hides many secrets, will seize the vengeance she seeks for a world which wronged her.
These four young women find their fates intertwined. If they make the right decisions, three of them may save the world from this new and deadly force. And should they fail, one will destroy it.
On Winds of Ruin
A friendship betrayed. An unfamiliar land. The winds of ruin blow.
Roisin is still reeling from events at the end of A Crown of Blood. She feels lost, broken and alone in the world. Torn with what to do next, Roisin chooses to make the fateful trip across the Skybinder border into enemy territory in the hopes of gaining new allies for the fight against the Soulmongers. At her side is her fox companion, Vulpo; the last of the Bloodsingers, Mei; and a Skybinder of questionable allegiance named Giack.
However, Roisin’s actions draw the attention of the Skybinder nobility, entrapping her into political machinations with deadly outcomes.
Piritta, newly reborn Soulmonger, is tasked with the search for the final member of the Soulmonger Triumvirate to lead the army to victory.
And Kaori, leader of the Soulmongers, is given her own task, granting her more power than she could have ever imagined.
The choices these young women must make will tear them apart, fracture them all, leaving cracks for something darker to seep in. And in the end, only the one with the strongest resolve will endure.
With Scars of Spirit
The Emergence nears.
War looms.
The Deimachy must end.
Serphinion, the Soulmonger, is seemingly victorious. All he needs is one final piece in his plan for him to achieve his ultimate design.
Roisin, accepting Serphinion’s ultimatum, finds herself working with the enemy. However, being so close to the enemy brings her closer than ever to her main Piritta.
Piritta is haunted by her choices. Taunted by her master and challenged by her fellow queens, she must find a way to overcome the most difficult challenge of her life.
