Daughter of the Ageian by Marius H. Visser

Life is brutish, deadly, and short.

Beuneth knows this better than most. Sold as a child to an assassin’s guild, trained to steal and kill, she has lived her life without love. At best, she is no more than a cherished tool, a weapon in the hands of the guild and a sorceress to boot. Until she falls in love with Blanka, a fellow thief, and he with her.

But the guild comes first, no matter what, and the two would-be lovers are forced apart. In desperation, Blanka devises a plan to destroy the guild that is so audacious, it just might work. It starts with stealing a dragon…

If only things were that simple.

With Blanka’s life on the line, Beuneth must find a way to save her love. Yet doing so would cut the thread which holds the world together. Can she find the path to save him without destroying the world they live in?

Time and allies both come in short supply.

Garidan Rourke has recaptured the throne of New Runswick, with master-archer Ladriana by his side. But all is not well: the army of a mad king from the distant past rages across the land, razing towns, villages, and cities with the help of his dragon allies. Their goal: to steal the life force of hundreds of magi to create a portal home.

Desperate for allies to stave off the ravagers, King Garidan attempts to locate the Ageians, the powerful race that imprisoned the dragons millennia before. Meanwhile, Queen Ladriana undertakes a diplomatic mission to the elves and dwarves to the north, seeking an alliance.

To gain the favour of the Ageians, Garidan fights his way through their dying world to solve a problem they could not. Will he gain their alliance — even as his queen faces threats on all sides?
