The Planned Books of the Aureate Cycle
The divine empire of Orisyne is rotting from the inside.
As Emperor Kydell vanishes into the cursed Wilds in search of salvation, Archcanton Margane moves swiftly to seize the vacant throne. With the empire fracturing, she isolates the young princess, exiles her protectors, and prepares for conquest under Orisyne’s banner.
In the chaos, a broken paladin receives a sacred command: hunt down and kill the woman he once called beloved. A ruthless game of obedience and rebellion unfolds, as faith turns to fear, and the will of the goddess grows impossible to follow—or to survive.
Order of Orisyne
At his heart, Sir Garron is a simple man — a priest who wants nothing more than to serve Orisyne and her people. But the goddess's Order demands more than prayer. As paladin and assassin to the Emperor, Garron has spent years doing the Order's darkest work, binding his conscience to his faith and telling himself they are the same thing. They are not. Bound to a squire whose family he destroyed and dispatched to execute an exile he once called his own, he is running out of ways to believe otherwise — and the cracks are beginning to show.
Avatar of Orisyne
Kydell has served Orisyne his entire life — as emperor, as high priest, as her living voice on earth. When his daughter is threatened by the shadow of a curse older than the empire itself, faith is not enough, and Kydell rides out not as an avatar but as a father, into lands where Orisyne's name carries no weight and her light does not reach. What he finds there will shatter everything he thought he knew about the goddess he serves, the world she built, and the price she paid to build it.
Empire of Orisyne
The monsters at the borders are only the beginning. Kydell has returned, the quest is done, and the cost is already visible in the cracks along the empire's edges — creatures spilling through where lesser gods have slipped their bonds, testing boundaries that have held for generations. With the avatar's mantle now resting on his daughter Meridys, Kydell must become something new: not a priest, not a figurehead, but a general. And scattered across the empire's bleeding frontier, the people he has wronged, exiled, and forgotten are the only army he has left.
