Monasco I: Passage to Anathema promo

Ten-year-old Isaac Bahan is preparing to become a man. He’ll be branded as official property of the city-state of Calabrecia. His entire family are in attendance when a raiding band of enemy soldiers from neighboring Monasco murders Isaac's father and rides off into the Desert of Sähm with his body as a war trophy. Little Isaac vows revenge, however long it takes.

A few miles away, twelve-year-old Monascan army cadet, Tai Ogami, excels in the brutal Monascan military training. Her progress is monitored by the Monascan ruler's most trusted advisor, Lieutenant Arturus Olanga. Tai progresses until reaching god-like status at the age of twenty-one, and Olanga's jealousy boils as she prepares to make her final rite of passage to the most elite warrior status. Her mission is to infiltrate a Calabrecian slave colony, and at the end of one year assassinate one of her generous colony hosts. Deemed “Monasco’s greatest expectation”, Tai knows this assignment will prove her worthy of a grander future than she had ever dreamed.

Tai finds herself in 2^nd-colony-Calabrecia where she befriends a now bitter and unpleasant Isaac Bahan. Her mission becomes dangerously complicated when she soon falls in love with Isaac’s beautiful sister Seraya. Tai must now choose between revealing to Seraya the truth of what she really is, or maintaining her cover to achieve Monascan glory. Love of Seraya—an enemy slave—is treason, but duty means the treacherous murder of a friend and the betrayal of the woman she loves. This is THE PASSAGE TO ANATHEMA.

Monasco II: The Last Kappolarian promo

Tàhti Aliviero hasn’t seen the light of day for a month. She’s been holed up in the ruins of her Kappolarian home with the remains of her murdered family. Tàhti fears the outside world might place her at the mercy of their Monascan killers. The Calabrecian War has left Tàhti the sole survivor of an entire city-state, and the Monascan Empire controls the Desert of Sähm. When Monascan soldiers return to her doorstep, ten-year-old Tàhti is certain she will die by the same blade that slaughtered her family. But the newly-appointed Empress Tai Ogami is among those soldiers, and she offers Tàhti a permanent home as the Princess of Sähm, heir to the Monascan throne.

Tai Ogami knows the power with which she now rules the Monascan Empire came to her by default. She is under-prepared for such political omnipotence, so Empress Ogami will simply have to improvise. Her wife, Seraya Bahan, is now ruling alongside her as the Queen of Sähm. They are surrounded by a sundry cast of advisors and staunch politicians who do not always have their best interest at heart. Lieutenant Arturus Olanga’s vendetta against Tai’s uncanny rise to power has been keeping him busy. He’s launched a private investigation into the mystery around her success, and he’s found some unexpected allies willing to help him solve it.

As Tai and Seraya strive toward social progress, the Desert of Sähm spirals into rebellion and chaos with the young Princess Tàhti, the last Kappolarian, at the center of the unrest. The new rulers must find a way to maintain order, protect the life of the princess, and preserve their marriage while the Imperial dignitaries conspire for control with plots against the matriarchs’ lives.
