Welcome to the Compendium.
Beginning with LEGACY OF LIGHT, The Compendium is guaranteed to draw you into a new world of magic, political intrigue, and epic catastrophe. Follow three generations as they fight against the genocidal Holy Empire.
In HAMMER OF MARIPES, Part I of LEGACY OF LIGHT, Maripes travels to Esmeraldi, capital of the Holy Empire. He’s hoping to convince the powers-that-be to spare the People of Light through a trade of religious and economic significance. But he might be in over his head…
In LEGION OF MONO, Maripes’s son, Mono, must face down an endless host of enemy soldiers. Armed only with his father’s spear, he fights for his life and the lives of the soldiers he commands. He will do whatever it takes to win above the great chasm of the Caris River.
In THUNDER OF ERMO, Ermo, daughter of Mono, must pick up the pieces of a world forged in violence. Living in the shadow of her father and grandfather, she has too many paths forward. Which one will she choose?

They only know their enemy as Accursed.
When Roan agrees to join the Serpents on a heist in the city of Esmeraldi, she expects it to go smoothly. Nothing could have been further from the truth. On the run for her life, she'll need to deceive soldiers, generals, and inquisitors of her identity and gender. It's illegal for a woman to be a soldier, after all.
Before long, she dives right into the hands of her pursuers, hiding in plain sight. At least Roan isn't facing down the Accursed in their mountain strongholds, hundreds of kilometers to the north...
In Legacy of Light, you witnessed the story of Ermo as she freed her people from the iron grip of the Holy Empire. In Enemies of Light, witness the war through the eyes of the other side. Not everything is as it seems.

The Compendium takes place in a new world cracked by war and religious prejudice. The Holy Empire dominates the continent, while the People of Light live hidden away in the northern mountains. Caught in the crossfire are the elements of Sunsteel and Moonstone—holy to both peoples. Not every power of these metals has been unlocked, and many are lost in the annals of time. If peace is to occur between these two nations, it will depend on sharing knowledge and, consequentially, power. And Maripes knows a tiny bit of it.
