Dæina is haunted by dreams—a memory of indigo flames and the screams of her elders. She’s fought in the shadows for twenty years, stealing the empire’s books on magic, replacing them with forged copies that have misled the empire’s mages and kept them from reaching the higher arts. But she’s finally been caught. 

The Qvönar Library now faces an impossible fight. Assassins stalk the night, sappers bring fire, and the empire’s elite army is on the march. She’s long known that the moment she took up the pen, she sentenced her guild to death. But if they can see this through and keep the magic they stole from the empire's hands, it will be worth it.

Siege of Ásripar is an epic dark fantasy prequel novel set three hundred years before Secrets Etched in Stone—Book One of Riftworlds.
