Gifted by gods, ancient and nameless, were born Runeblades. With dark markings and abilities beyond those of mortal humans, Runeblades are warriors that exist to protect those in positions of power. As is common, Runeblade Nova has protected Lady Eleanora since childhood, bearing a pact to protect her; a Runeblade’s duty to protect is their life. But when all young lords and ladies are summoned to the royal estate, a betrayal by those they hold most dear threatens them all. With a sinister plot to kill every Runeblade looming overhead, can Nova steel herself and protect those she cares for? Or will these be her last days as a Runeblade warrior?
