The Stormbound Goddess

Velisca Vane knows how to break into a guarded house, judge a dangerous contract, and leave before the price changes. Surviving Dunmere has given her a powerful enchanted whip and another reason to distrust the people who hire her.

An offer to recover a stolen register should be ordinary work. Instead, the trail leads through falsified cargo accounts, missing workers, and settlements whose livelihoods depend on machinery they barely understand. Another company of adventurers is following the same clues, and neither side knows whom it can afford to trust.

At Stormglass, a hidden undertaking is drawing the attention of dragons and gods. The people trapped beneath its promises need rescuers who can work together before the gathering storm makes every bargain worthless.

Velisca has always feared what success might demand of her. This time, completing the job could change far more than her life.

The Stormbound Goddess opens The Stormward Duology, a dark fantasy adventure of rival companies, dangerous relics, costly loyalties, and the beginnings of divine power.
