Strike hard. Strike fast.
Every child in Drysden grew up with stories of horrifying creatures that struck at night leaving death and fear in their wake. Twenty-year-old Bryn doesn't believe the tales anymore than she does fairy stories.
But then the Skolli returned.
Desperate to protect the ones she loves, Bryn triggers her bloodrite to defeat the beasts, but not before her father is killed. His pyre is still warm when Bryn learns that she is the descendent of a Verndari, an elite warrior trained to fight the monsters.
Bryn travels to take her place amongst the Verndari and fulfill her final promise to her father. To do her duty. But when her appointment is derailed, and her position challenged, she finds herself thrust into a twisted web of traitors and civil war.
Bryn has to decide who she can trust to have her back--and her heart. As more attacks occur and Bryn begins to fight on the front lines, she discovers that the attack on her village left her scarred in more ways than one and not all of them are physical.
Perfect for fans of Laura Thalassa and Amanda Bouchet, Nightmares of Nightfall spins together adventure, court intrigue, and romance into an engrossing story of high stakes and divided loyalties.
