The Basilisk Throne

Nations collide and allies cannot be trusted when Crespin Nevelon goes to war on the high seas, facing sorcerous weapons that shatter both body and soul, while his sister Chrysanthe navigates the ruthless politics of the imperial capital, where it's impossible to tell who is an ally and who would see her dead. Yet the key to victory may lie with a wild rogue and the slave of a powerful sorcerer.
