Sovereign Blades

There will come a time when a last daughter of Eskel blood remains. If that daughter becomes the fallen queen, Eskeleth will burn. Skye has always known her purpose in life. As the third child of Eskeleth’s king, she’s spent years learning the skills of war and death, to protect her country and the older sister who will one day be queen. Except disaster has befallen the royal family, and from assassin-in-training, Skye has become next in line to the throne. In the name of revenge, she must return to a land plagued by ghosts – and bordered by a rapacious Empire – to enter a world of intrigue and politics, and to fight for her crown against a Council that will do anything to keep her from it. Skye’s rule was foretold by prophecy, though, and it promises Eskeleth’s end in blood and fire. If she’s to save her kingdom, she will need to become both princess and assassin, or everything she’s ever loved will be destroyed. Sovereign Blades contains the complete fantasy trilogy of The Steel Princess, The Dagger Queen and Lady of Swords.

Winner of the 2018 Gordon K. and Sybil Farrell Lewis Book Prize from the Caribbean Studies Association Winner of the 2017 Annual Book Prize from the Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS)​ Sovereign Acts explores how artists, activists, and audiences performed and interpreted sovereignty struggles in the Panama Canal Zone, from the Canal Zone’s inception in 1903 to its dissolution in 1999. In popular entertainments and patriotic pageants, opera concerts and national theatre, white U.S. citizens, West Indian laborers, and Panamanian artists and activists used performance as a way to assert their right to the Canal Zone and challenge the Zone’s sovereignty, laying claim to the Zone’s physical space and imagined terrain. By demonstrating the place of performance in the U.S. Empire’s legal landscape, Katherine A. Zien transforms our understanding of U.S. imperialism and its aftermath in the Panama Canal Zone and the larger U.S.-Caribbean world.

Queen Skye Eskel is in exile. With her friends scattered and a foreign prince on the throne, her kingdom is lost – and the only way to win it back might be to make a deal with the man who betrayed her. Nor is the fate of her nation her only concern. The newly freed revenants have gone south, taking their chaos and destruction to the Imaldran Empire. Skye's estranged sister seeks to use them for her own ends, setting in motion a race for possession of the final Sovereign Blades. If she finds them, Tawny will once again have the upper hand, and seek to bring about a reign of darkness. And the biggest battle of all might not be with elves, or Nocturnes, or Imperial princes. If Skye can't recover the fire that's spurred her on for so long, she risks surrendering any hope of peace, for herself or for her country. After everything she's lost, and found, and lost again, can she ever find a way back to the light?

New author, E. L. Glenn, takes you on an intriguing journey through a reality that contains multiple, parallel universes. Though there are uncountable universes, there is only one Nexus Universe. The progenitor universe from which all the others have originated from. Those within the Nexus Universe have the ‘ability’ to enter any of the others. The Nexus Universe has a problem though, a man named Hessler, who embodies the ‘Antithesis’ spirit, has made it his quest to conquer not only the Nexus Universe, but the other parallel universes as well. To achieve this, Hessler has been using an army comprised of men and orcs, numbering a million. He must also attain the ‘Crystal Sword’, an incredible source of power. The ‘Crystal Sword’ had been hidden in the caverns of one of the kingdoms of the dwarves. Protecting it are wizards, men, elves and the dwarves themselves. They cannot use the ‘Sword’, only one embodied with either the ‘Antithesis’ spirit, or the ‘Sovereign’ Spirit can, and the one embodied with the ‘Sovereign’ spirit, is in another universe. They must find him in the hope of stopping Hessler. Mariah, a searcher in the caverns, has found the prophecy that will lead them to the universe that the ‘Sovereign’ is in. Taking it to the seekers, Mariah is informed that she must be the one to enter the ‘Sovereigns’ universe and bring him to them. There isn’t much time and they have no idea what the ‘Sovereign’ will be like, but he is their only hope. Hessler and his orc army, are almost upon them.

Skye Eskel has taken back her kingdom. Despite opposition from all sides and a prophecy promising her country's destruction, she's fought her way to the throne. Yet threats mount even as she secures her position, from the blood cult led by her own estranged sister, to the vicious ghosts they've unleashed. She has new visitors to contend with, too: a delegation from the Imaldran Empire. Skye must navigate the demands of a prince both charming and dangerous, and the offer he makes. It's one that might finally give her the strength to dismantle her enemies – or end with her crown in the hands of a foreign ruler. And despite all her efforts, the revenants are getting stronger. If Skye can't find a way to defeat both ghosts and Nocturnes, it won't be long before there's nothing left to rule.

Born a princess. Made an assassin. Fated to change the world. Skye was never meant to rule. As the third child of Eskeleth’s king, she’s instead spent years learning the skills of war and death, to protect her country and the older sister who will one day be queen. Except disaster has befallen the royal family, leaving Skye next in line for the throne. For the sake of her people, she must return to a homeland plagued by ghosts – and bordered by a rapacious Empire – to fight for her crown against a Council that will do anything to keep her from it. And if Skye is to rule, she must overcome an ancient prophecy, one that promises Eskeleth's end in blood and fire. To save her kingdom, she will need to be both princess and assassin, or everything she's ever known will be destroyed.
