Sacrifice of the Soul-Tether: 4

The rot doesn't just kill. It makes you murder the ones you love.Three years after shattering the Hegemony, Draven and Liorah have built a life in the sun. But Matriarch Ophelia has been evolving in the dark-twisting her fungal plague into a weapon that weaponizes memory itself. Now the Under-Reign's people are tearing each other apart, hallucinating monsters only they can see.To stop the madness, the Jarl of the Wastes and the Unshackled Sky must descend into the poisoned depths of Sector Four. But Liorah carries more than fire in her veins now-and the Matriarch has engineered the perfect trap: a toxin that turns her starlight into a catalyst for annihilation.Sacrifice of the Soul-Tether is a dark epic fantasy of psychological warfare, impossible choices, and the price of protecting what you love when the enemy lives inside your own mind. For readers who crave relentless stakes, brutal intimacy, and heroes who break so they don't break each other.Book Four in the Drafted into Darkness series.
