The Mantle of Counsel - Fires Within
An impulse purchase from a garage sale shouldn't burn your house down. It shouldn't summon a clawed nightmare made of pain and hunger. And it definitely shouldn't be able to leave traces of something terrible clawing in your mind.
But when Alyssa Morgan's world collapses in a single night, a stranger in a metal mask tells her that magic is real, it has rules, and she has accidentally broken several of them.
To return to the life she had, she must forget everything.
Forget the artifact. Forget the fire. Forget the nightmare.
Now she must choose her future.
Does she let this stranger erase everything she's seen?
Does she step through the doors opened before her, into a world of ancient creatures, fading divinity, and secrets that shape the fate of all things?
She already knows which she'll choose. She just doesn't know what it's going to cost her.
The Mantle of Counsel - Thorns Within
Alyssa Morgan survived a demon, a house fire, and the greatest loss of her life. Now, with her new friends, she has arrived at the Mantle of Counsel with one suitcase and more questions than ever.
Yet there's more than just training waiting for her at this place of power. Her magic is small. Her confidence is fragile. And Counsel, the one person who anchors her, has duties that pull him far away. Alyssa is learning that growth isn't just about power and control. A journey made that much harder as she digs for the courage to stand with her own scars.
The demonic orb that destroyed her past has become the key to a far darker future.
Alyssa joined the Mantle of Counsel to help people.
She's about to learn that sometimes helping others means being the one who pays the price.
The Mantle of Counsel - Shadows Within
Three years after Burford, the world has moved on.
The Throne of Thorns may be dealt with, but they left their mark on Alyssa. She is no longer the woman who stumbled into all of this through a cloud of helpless confusion. The edges of true strength are finally at her fingertips.
But something is wrong inside the Wardens of Endomen. A traitor with enough access to bury knowledge and redirect power.
A god has been killed. And whatever is stirring in the world is clever enough to always be one step ahead.
When a day of fun and relaxation becomes something no one can explain or escape from, Alyssa finds herself at the centre of it again. This time, not by accident.
She has trained for this.
She has bled for this.
Now she has to decide how much of herself she is willing to give.
The answer will take her somewhere no one can follow.
