Fragmented Deamone: Book 0 [Part II]
A DANGEROUS FRAGMENT. A KNOWN ENEMY. A DESTROYED COUNTRY.
Gothalia Ignatius-Valdis has been forced into the rank of Centurion, a promotion she neither wanted nor welcomed, and one that many around her resent. Amid the uprisings that blot the streets of New Icarus, handpicked Cores of Centurions, Legionnaires and Cavaliers make their way to the Earth Reserve after failing to protect its lone Princess, who has vanished. The journey to the capital, New Eorthen, is swift, but the battle to reclaim territory stolen by the Xzandians is brutal and desperate. The Xzandian General wields the Fragment of Midnight Eclipse to devastating effect, turning the besieged citizens into a weapon against themselves. The Deamone Reserve knows the catastrophic toll the Xzandians are exacting on the Earth Reserve’s people. Will they step in to help, or will they turn their backs? Their choice will decide Gothalia’s fate—and the futures of many like her.
