Mai Corland Books in Order

Five dangerous liars unite to assassinate an immortal ruler whose reign has brought suffering to the powerless. Their different motives make cooperation precarious, and surviving the mission requires trust among people trained to deceive and betray.

Manipulated into stealing a powerful ring from a foreign queen, the five blades have one month to succeed. Old betrayals fracture their alliance, but defeating the king who controls them depends on working together despite their mutual distrust.

The surviving blades return to Yusan for a final mission after escaping a devastating battle. A usurper now occupies the throne, and possessing powerful relics offers little protection against shifting alliances, grief, and enemies across the realms.

High priestess Kerasea hides a bloodline the republic sought to destroy. When a murder brings her determined investigator dangerously close, forced proximity makes the enemies depend on one another while the truth threatens both her position and her life.
