Call Me Traitor

En has been trained to obey. With battle spells carved into her skin and magical loyalty binding her to the archmagi, she serves an empire that expects its soldiers to function as weapons. Her latest mission sends her into the dangerous Far Peninsula to retrieve traitors who should have died in exile. To survive, she teams up with Tamol, an infuriatingly unreliable soldier whose kindness and magical brilliance undermine En’s certainties. Attraction becomes another complication when En discovers that Tamol is one of her targets. As the empire seeks a powerful discovery hidden in the wilderness, something monstrous threatens everyone in its path. En must confront the distance between following orders and choosing what she believes is worth protecting.
