War is an inconvenient nuisance, all said and told. Especially one that has been brewing for an age. From wolves to strange mists to caverns of fire, the fighting and its effects weave into the lives of all Aslarians.

The sister who saves. The wingmaster who searches. The rebel who survived.

Their lives will never be the same.

ROSE OF THE OATH - Beauty and the beast

Picking a rose had to be one of the stupidest reasons for capture in all of Aslaria. And Elissa's brother had to be the one to do it. Without resources to mount a proper rescue, Elissa settles for the next best thing. Exchanging her freedom for his.

If he can keep her younger sisters safe while the nation teeters on the edge of war, then anything is worth his life.

But the hidden valley houses one of her nation's oldest secrets. A secret her brother accidentally became entangled with, when he picked a single perfect rose...

As her world crumbles into war, Elissa can no longer dream of safety for only her family. The secrets that surround her, jealously guarded by her strange, silent host, aren't just critical to her own fate. They are built into the fate of the entire world.

SONG OF THE SWORD - Rapunzel

Seeing things most people can't comes with its disadvantages.

As the Wingmaster of the Aslarian army, Evrard can walk in the Melody--a mirror realm that overlays the whole land. Unfortunately, such abilities come with a whole slew of problems. Personalized targeting by enemy mistbenders. Choking mists. Echoing memories. It's a lonesome sort of war in the Melody, which few know about and fewer can enter.

Evrard doesn't mind terribly much. He's used to being alone.

But when a new song carries proof of another walker in the realm, Evrard knows he must find her. Even if she's surrounded by mist.

Even if his enemies are using her to lure him into their power.

He's not about to leave any walker of the Melody in their power.

Especially when that walker is his twin.

SHADOWS OF THE HERSWEALD - Hansel and Gretel

Any victor should know better than to issue a pardon for those he'd defeated.

Especially when the defeated include power-hungry rebels. Rebels Haydn spent the last two years fighting alongside before abandoning them on the seeming cusp of victory.

Instead, they lost.

Back in his small village, fending off attacks from stray rebels while awaiting the Prince's judgment, Haydn is none too pleased. He's been counting on the rebels' capture to keep his mother and sister safe.

Haydn knows better than anyone that his actions deserve no mercy.

His former comrades lurking the surrounding mountains deserve even less.

Caught between the guilt of his past and duty to those he loves, Haydn's bitterest fight begins just as the war ends. It's a fight he intends to win.

Even if it means rejecting the pardon that could save his life.

BONUS: ROSE OF THE NIGHT - a Rose of the Oath prequel

Rebellion was never part of the plan.

To be honest, there wasn't much to Adrian's plan beyond convincing the girl he loves of his undying devotion. But dooming himself and the rest of the valley was not how he intended the proposal to go.

Alive only because of the King's mercy, Adrian dedicates himself to the single task that now matters--a mission to undo the night he has caused.

The mission of the Oathkeeper.

Fairy tales retold as you have never heard them before.
