First of the Blade Books in Order

Imogen left behind the training that taught her to destroy sorcerers. A request from her brother leads her into danger, where protecting a mythical Porapeth means confronting her past and discovering the true capabilities of her blade.

Imogen must guide her people home through lands threatened by dark creatures. Her mastery of sacred sword patterns cannot stop a new pursuer, forcing her to unite those she protects and develop a power she has yet to understand.

Imogen pursues her brother, hoping he can still be saved. Creatures unseen for centuries begin hunting magic users, forcing her to protect former enemies and deepen her command of the sacred patterns while learning to lead her people.

With her people scattered, Imogen searches for a safe home while dark magical attacks continue. Suspecting Timo has powerful help, she faces a familiar enemy and a new ally whose own needs complicate her efforts to protect the survivors.

Destroyed temples leave the Leier and Koral without safety in their traditional lands. As sorcerers attack with enchantments and deadly creatures, Imogen must lead her people away while questioning everything she believed about magic and its wielders.

Imogen struggles to understand the knowledge Benji has given her after defeating a Porapeth scheme. Pursuing her brother's search for power uncovers a truth that could help her lead the Leier and Koral or bring about their destruction.
