Demon. Witch. Skulking-Thing.
When a magical accident leaves another child broken on the cathedral steps, young Thaera has only one choice: Run-lest she condemn her family to the Faith's judgment. Alone, and haunted by the power within her, she must discover whether evil differs from misfortune only by intention-or if she's crossed a line she can never return from.
Traitor. Coward. Misanthrope.
All his life, Lord Armine O'Ren has tried to own the responsibility that lurks within his privilege. In Dromal, the elven Vondari are slaves in all but name-a wrong Armine has devoted his life to fixing. But after countless defeats, his ambitions for a 'greater good' have worn thin, reduced now to fighting for even the smallest scraps of mercy.
But when Thaera arrives at House O'Ren, a simple act of protection slowly becomes something far more dangerous: belonging.
Thaera's presence may be a second chance for both of them. A chance at 'normal'. But when her nightmares begin to bleed into waking life, and violence stirs in the corners of the kingdom, House O'Ren must decide what 'greater good' it's willing to stand for.
The Emperor's Children is a tragic fantasy of power, responsibility, and the fragile strength of chosen family-exploring what is asked of the privileged, what is stolen from the oppressed, and what is left to those caught in between
