The Starlight & the Flame

“ At once achingly sweet and lavishly dark, Weymouth deftly weaves a tale of war, love, sacrifice, and devotion . ” —H. M. Long, author of The Winter Sea series
The fate of the realm falls to four—an inexperienced religious leader, a newly-minted regent, a captive queen, and a deposed king—as they attempt to establish peace after centuries of war in the epic conclusion to the Daughters of Light duology, perfect for fans of the Gael Song series and The Priory of the Orange Tree.
A year and a half after her political meddling among Honoria's ruling Inver clan, Fiametta Raeana has returned to her beloved cloister. But when her religious order's leader vanishes, Fia is left to preside over the powerful and contentious sect of the sun alone. She faces threats from both without and within, including a mysterious illness that may be a curse from the very goddess she serves.
Silas Inver, blind regent to an infant king, attempts to steer the brawling nation of Honoria away from war, but finds his efforts stonewalled at every turn by his dynasty's old guard. With allies that behave as enemies and snakes among his closest friends, his paranoia grows— along with the certainty that without Fia and the cloister's support, his reign and his life will be swiftly ended.
Honoria's apostate queen Ariana is held captive by her nation's implacable enemy, King Afon Caervallion, who strives to shatter her will through threats to her daughter and people. Given the blood on her hands after assassinating her husband Orden Inver, Honoria's former king, Ariana feels her imprisonment is deserved, but for the sake of her kingdom, she must find a way out.
And waiting in the shadows, Orden Inver, presumed dead, plots vengeance against all those who wronged him. Especially his errant queen...
