Plagued in Harbor’s Edge

Harbor’s Edge is rotting from the inside. Grayrot is contagious, devastating, and spreading fast. The military has sealed whole districts inside rune-powered quarantine barriers, leaving the sick and the healthy trapped together behind the line.

Before Sylva Kren was stripped of rank and uniform, her genius in runework had made her a rising star in the service’s research division.

Now she wears the gray uniform of the relief group that took her in, caring for the people the commanders would rather contain than save.

But when the outbreak begins appearing where it should not, even the military is forced to rely on the woman it cast aside.

Sylva soon realizes the outbreak is not slipping through broken barriers. Someone is letting it out on purpose.

Set in the same series as Marked in the Spire. The prologue and chapters 1–10 are open to everyone; join free to continue reading.

Adult epic fantasy

Marked in the Spire

Rook Ganss is trapped in Harbor’s Edge by the debts his father left behind when he died serving in the military. Desperate to keep his mother and sister off the streets, Rook plans to follow in his father’s footsteps and earn the money he needs by enlisting in the Aegis.

Instead, the entrance trials end in catastrophe, leaving Rook rejected, his family shattered, and his only honest path forward closed. When he turns to smuggling for a notorious Veilshade dealer, he uncovers a cult using human sacrifice to tear open the barriers between worlds—and is framed for its crimes.

Hunted by the military police, Rook escapes into the Spire, where an ancient summoner offers him access to the power the Aegis said he could never wield. Taken in by Ciera Silver, a disgraced former soldier who now leads the Reclaimers in rescuing those the military abandons, Rook sees a person doing more good than harm, and a chance to earn absolution alongside her.

But every step toward the strength he needs carries a cost. To save Harbor’s Edge and reclaim a place among the people hunting him, Rook may have to sacrifice the memories, loyalties, and love that make his life worth living.

Set in the same series as Plagued in Harbor’s Edge, now serializing here on the website.
