The Rending of the World

War

Treachery

A continent-sweeping onslaught

Spymaster Mara has spent her life trying to head off war between her country and a rival land. Now the rival has gained control of strategic mountain passes and invaded with overwhelming force. As enemy armies sweep forward, Mara finds herself stranded with her country’s honorable ruler in a distant northern realm. She must guard the ruler’s life on a perilous sea voyage as he attempts to return home.

Meanwhile in Mara’s country’s capital, fourteen-year-old Princess Deborah finds herself unexpectedly on the throne. The princess faces rebellions and scheming courtiers as she makes military decisions her tutors never prepared her for. Her troops have musketry and advanced fortifications, but the invaders use ships and cavalry to outmaneuver them. Both sides know a long war could ravage the farmland, leaving winners and losers alike to starve.

The fate of the country depends on Mara’s shrewdness and Deborah’s will.

This is the fourth and final book of the political fantasy series Mara of the League. It includes seven maps detailing battle plans and military operations.
