Marniy Jones

The Seal of Throkar Marniy Jones

A pious soldier desperate for revenge.

A disillusioned sorcerer questioning his own humanity.

Each on opposing sides of a rift between the gods.

Since the creation of the world, the god of Knowledge and Death has sought vengeance against the sister who betrayed his plans. Over the eons, he and his near-immortal human avatars have tormented and harried the goddess' followers, driving them into hiding with spells and violence.

Quin, a pious soldier and servant to the goddess' avatar, understands how bitter that enmity can be. Her mother was tortured and killed, one victim among thousands in a devastating slaughter. Quin seeks revenge of her own.

When the avatar of the god of Art is murdered, fear compels the remaining avatars to form an unthinkable alliance. Quin must work with the sorcerer responsible for her mother's death to track down the killer.

The investigation uncovers a deeper conspiracy that makes Quin question her faith, her loyalty, and everything she knows about her allies and her adversaries. In a game where the gods themselves are pawns, the man she is sworn to kill could provide her only chance of protecting the people she loves. But first, Quin must decide who can be trusted and who is worth saving.
