About the book
The treaties have burned. The empires are tearing each other apart.
And in the wreckage of a dying age, a servant's daughter is about to discover exactly what she is willing to become.
Wren Calder was never meant to matter. But when the old powers crumble and the lords of the realm turn on the weak, the border march of Duskhold becomes prey — and Wren is the only thing standing between her home and the wolves at its gates.
She has a weapon the world has never seen: a god's contract, and the sealed assassin bound to the other end of it. With the Last Knife at her side, Wren strikes for the first time — and learns how easily she could love the taste of power.
But every drop of strength the contract lends her must be repaid. Every time she rules him, the bond turns, and forces her to kneel. And the man she is slowly, dangerously coming to trust carries a past that has finally come hunting: the ancient order that forged him does not let its blades retire. It melts them down — and everything they have grown to love.
In an age of ruin, the only way to survive is to become something glorious. Or something monstrous.
Wren is no longer sure there is a difference.

You do not require a weapon to stand in front of you, treating you like fragile cargo. You require a partner to stand violently beside you. I will.

Before you start
Honest answers about An Age of Ruin and Glory
Can I start with An Age of Ruin and Glory?
Not really. Book 2 opens directly on the consequences of the covenant formed in The Fate-Chosen, and the power dynamic between Wren and Soren only makes sense if you watched it form.
Does the power dynamic change in Book 2?
Yes. Wren stops enduring the contract and starts using it, and the book is largely about what that costs her. Every drop of borrowed strength is repaid, and each time she commands him the bond turns and forces her to kneel.
How spicy is An Age of Ruin and Glory?
Heat level 4 of 5, a step up from Book 1, alongside graphic battlefield violence.
