Enchanted Shadows

A smarter man wouldn't have used a real sword, but "smart" wasn't exactly a word strung along with my name very often.

General Owen Raikes has been tasked with training a team of all women for Wylan, and he is not happy. While he knows he is the best trainer Wylan has, he believes his friends and family planned this to treat it like an Assemblage for him, and he wants no part in that.

Yet he can't turn down the opportunity to train his own sister. So, he takes on the challenge: to train this team of women to be one of the most formidable teams Wylan has.

With some leftover Theon Valanova loyalists lurking, he knows they will have to be careful not to heighten the growing tensions. Not long into training, the dead king's dark magic is seen in the forest, sending everyone reeling.

And when one person on his team is not at all who they seem, when war comes knocking on Wylan's door because of it, Owen comes up with a reckless plan to save them all.

Will his plan succeed? Or will he end up getting burned? And what if he doesn't even mind flirting with the fire?
