What if Mulan didn’t disguise herself for honor—but to survive—and when her secret is revealed, instead of her ancestors answering, her god tells her to wake him.

A coming-of-rage about a thief turned warrior trying to carve her own fate—only to realize she was never the one pulling the strings.

A woman desperate for belonging.

A dragon waiting to be woken.

A prince who loves his kingdom.

An empire waiting to be rebuilt.

The worldbuilding of the Priory of the Orange Tree meets the morally gray characters of the Night Ends in Fire in this adult fantasy debut: HARBINGERS OF WAR.
