About this series
At the center of the forest lies the sacred wood of Ystrac, god of the wilderness and the wild terror of hunted things. None can walk the path without knowing that terror.
But through the sacred wood runs the a road hung with lanterns dedicated to Talesyn, the god of poets and fire – and in the ever-burning flame of his lanterns, travelers are granted a brief respite from fear.
Two people meet at the boundary marker. One is dedicated to the god of the wood, charged to face what the forest holds and open her heart to it joyfully.
The other is dedicated to the god of the flame, and he has come to tend the lanterns and ensure their flames burn bright for years to come, no matter what he must sacrifice to do it.
The fear presses close on every side – but there is a job to do, a path to walk, and a friend to guide the way.

- Some by Virtue Fall: The Seven Gods, #1
1
By the King's Edict, men have been banned from performing on stage. Everyone else is still out for blood. Sabajan Hollant, director and co-founder of the celebrated Lord Chancellor's Players, has one resolution: This time they're going to do it right. If they want to keep their noble patron—hell, if they want to stay in the theater business at all—they're going to have to keep their hands clean. No accidents, no rising to other troupes' provocations and taunts, and certainly no more duelling in the streets. But their arch-rivals have different plans, and soon enough, Saba and her troupe are caught up once again in an escalating drama of revenge, betrayal, and outright sabotage. The men may have started this war—but Saba and her remaining players are going to end it.
