Kingdoms of the Compass

In a land where direction is power and every point on the compass holds a secret, a cursed orphan and a battle-hardened mercenary forge a fragile alliance that could shatter kingdoms.

Kingdoms of the Compass opens with Crown of War and Shadow, a tale steeped in shadowy intrigue and raw, tangled emotion. Sorrel is marked—by magic, by loss, by a past no one will speak of. Alone, exiled, and haunted by powers she cannot control, she’s thrust into a world teetering on the edge of collapse. Her only hope lies in delivering a crown to a queen she’s never met, across the demon-infested Badlands where loyalty is currency and betrayal cuts deeper than steel.

Then comes Merc, a mercenary with more scars than truths. His offer: one night of sanctuary in exchange for a favor that binds them both far beyond what either expected. Their journey isn't one of trust, but of survival—drawn together by necessity, torn apart by secrets. What brews between them simmers under the threat of war, blood oaths, and a kingdom unraveling at its core.
