Throne of Exiles

by Alley Rehfeldt

“Every gift comes with a cost. Ours comes with a curse.”

Sayr Rieve has renounced her role in the Eastern Court and left her life in Visaran behind. Everything she could hope for is finally within her reach; the opportunity to search for her father, the chance to find others with unnatural abilities like herself, and a life of freedom and belonging in the King’s Court.

But many secrets have still been hidden away. And Sayr’s picturesque life in the Western Palace crumbles before her when she is ripped away from the politics and scheming of Court.

Sayr finds herself tossed in the midst of a revolution and an ally to an adamant leader secretly stirring the tensions between Visaran and Creobe. And worst of all, she uncovers the truth about her unnatural abilities and everything her gifts could cost her.

War is inevitable, and Sayr must make the impossible choice of which side she will fight for; those who will bring peace and freedom to her and her people, or the ones she loves who are fighting on the opposite side.
