'GRIPPING. WILL KEEP YOU READING THROUGH THE NIGHT.' KATHERINE STANSFIELD,
AUTHOR OF FALLING CREATURES
Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young
princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of
Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in
blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she
will never be loved.
But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of
all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or
remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most
brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent
the prophecy from becoming a reality—her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II.
Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful
commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic
dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must
confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.
The Lost Valor of Love is the first book of the Transcendence series.

'AN EPIC STORY OF LOVE. POWERFUL AND COMPELLING.' KATHERINE STANSFIELD, AUTHOR
OF THE MAGPIE TREE
"I love you, even past the boundaries of eternity. Not even the end of my existence could extinguish the
love I feel for you."
In the epic sequel to The Lost Valor of Love, worlds collide, and gods and mortals cross paths, kingdoms
fall, and ancient, long-buried hatreds stir.
In the heavens, the storm god Teshub discovers two of the most powerful gods of the pantheon have
fallen to a world torn apart by rivalry, war, famine, and plagues. Soon, he learns, he too must fall.
In the north, a crown prince ascends the throne, his queen taken by his enemy as compensation for the
crimes of his father. But the new king is prepared to risk everything to reclaim his queen, and plans for
war begin.
In the east, a near-immortal senses the awakening of a powerful artifact after an eternity of silence. It can
only mean one thing: gods once more walk among men, and with their return—the key to his immortality.
And from far without, the Creator eyes his dying creation, its fragile boundaries unraveling. From across
an enormous board, he picks up a token—an exact replica of a living woman. He smiles at it with
fondness and sets it down on a new space. Folding his hands together, he steps back, and waits.
The Call of Eternity is the second book in the Transcendence series.
