Triad
Sisters
of the Storm Book 1
by
Guy Estes
Genre:
Epic Fantasy, Adventure
It's
one thing to be gifted by the gods. It's another thing entirely to
figure out how to use that gift.
Three
of them are born at once. Some say they are gifted - Chosen - by the
gods. Others say they are so aberrant even the gods cannot stop them
from existing. Three of them living at once is unprecedented... and
dreaded.
Aleena
is a gifted warrior who only wants the world to leave her alone.
Anlon is an equally gifted warrior who wants the world under his
boot. Baezha is a gifted witch whose intentions are unknown, even to
her. Both Aleena and Anlon are skilled, proud and jealous. Their
rivalry is inevitable, yet Aleena knows Anlon is a brother in
addition to a rival. Jealousy, mercy, forgiveness and vengeance
threaten to consume all she loves.
Yet
what of the third Chosen, Baezha, a powerful sorceress quietly
watching the other two? And will the gathering of this triad result
in balancing the equation into order or unbalancing it into further
madness?

Reckoning
Sisters
of the Storm Book 2
She
won’t hesitate to take on any demon from any of the seven hells,
but none of them are as terrifying as the ones in her own
mind.
Baezha
Ambrose is a gifted sorceress. Aleena Kurrin, her adoptive sister, is
a gifted warrior. Together they have faced countless foes, but now
Baezha must face what she fears the most – her past. She’d fled
her home town of Oleppo after her world ended in fire and blood and
left her crippled with guilt. In the years since, the forces that
destroyed her world have taken over Oleppo and grown stronger. Now
she must return to Oleppo to sort things out.
The
Watchers is a secret society of religious zealots fanatically devoted
to the extinction of magic. Baezha’s extraordinary talent with
magic makes her their most hated enemy, and they bring all of their
obsessive fanaticism to bear on her. The Order of Entropy is a
faction of sorcerers dedicated to destructive magic. They see Baezha
as an intolerably dangerous rival, and they know precisely how to
hurt her. They know her sordid past better than Baezha
herself.
Crippled
by guilt and fighting a two front war in a city that has made her
very existence a crime, Baezha will need all the help she can get.
She has but one ally, her sister Chosen, Aleena, who is as powerful
in war as Baezha is in magic. With Aleena’s help, Baezha shall
bring a reckoning to the evil that destroyed all she loved. Or that
evil will have its final victory over her.
Though
listed as book 2 of the series, this is a stand alone novel.
The
Eighth Hell
Sisters
of the Storm Book 3
The
most dangerous women in the world dare the most dangerous place in
the world.
The
Shingora, a place known and dreaded by all, the name driving those
who hear it to mutter prayers and make signs for protection. None who
have gone to that island ever came back… until now.
The
trade guilds sent an expedition there, hoping to find a wellspring of
natural resources. Only one man returned, his experience having
reduced him to gibbering madness. Now the guilds are sending a new
expedition, three hundred strong and armed for war, to learn the fate
of the previous one and rescue the survivors… if there are
any.
Joining
them are the Chosen sisters: Aleena Kurrin, the Battle Queen, gifted
by the gods in war, and Baezha Ambrose, the Witch Queen, gifted by
the gods in magic. Sworn to recover any survivors, they are joined by
a host of new friends and brave an island teeming with bizarre
creatures. And on the Shingora, everything kills.
Yet
an even darker discovery awaits them in the Shingora’s depths, an
unnatural horror far worse than anything the island’s sinister
reputation ever hinted at. And while immersed in all the island’s
perils, a traitor threatens the company from within. With treacherous
enemies at their backs and engulfed by a horde of abominations, the
sisters will be tested as they’ve never been tested before… and
even those Chosen by the gods have their breaking point.
Though
listed as book 3 in a series, this is a stand-alone novel.
Lords
of Illusion
Sisters
of the Storm Book 4
The
Shrouded Masks, a sect of assassins feared above all others because
they have a unique advantage – they’re doppelgangers, giving them
perfect disguises. Everyone thought they were exterminated decades
ago. Everyone was wrong.
They
have returned from the brink of extinction seeking vengeance against
those who sent them there – the royal family of Bukahr. To protect
themselves from assassins who can take the forms of their most
trusted people, the royals hire two who are not easily impersonated,
the Death Queens – Aleena Kurrin, gifted warrior, and her adoptive
sister, Baezha Ambrose, gifted sorceress. But things aren’t as
simple as they first appear.
The
masks the royals present to their adoring public are much prettier
than the faces that wear them. For them, appearances trump
everything, including Aleena’s strategic advice, making a difficult
job even more difficult, and Baezha is sure they are keeping secrets
that could prove vital. As Aleena learns about their adversaries, she
discovers the relationship between the royals and the assassins may
not be as simple as the king said, and she suspects the assassins
want something more than blood vengeance, something worse than
murder.
Add
a secretive king, a haughty queen, a scheming princess, an arrogant
prince, and a hostile guard captain to shapeshifting assassins and
the sisters are once more tasked with the impossible. And if Aleena
is right, the Shrouded Masks intend something far worse than their
deaths.
Though
listed as Book 4 in a series, this is a stand-alone novel.
The
God Makers
Sisters
of the Storm Book 5
The
problem with trying to trap the Death Queens is you run the risk of
succeeding.
Over
a year ago, Aleena Kurrin, divinely gifted warrior, and her adoptive
sister, Baezha Ambrose, divinely gifted sorceress, faced the
unnatural monsters of the Shingora – the Eighth Hell. The sisters
triumphed, but their victory felt hollow, their souls scarred by
guilt – though they saved many people, they failed others,
something for which they cannot forgive themselves. Making things
worse is the fact that the mysterious alchemists responsible for
creating those monsters remain unknown… or do they?
A
group of alchemists calling themselves the God Makers has set up shop
just outside the alchemists’ guild’s jurisdiction, and they sound
exactly like those who created the abominations on the Shingora.
Haunted by their failures on the Shingora, the sisters must know for
certain if the God Makers are who they fear, and if so, put them out
of business. Permanently.
But
when they get to the God Makers’ lair, they discover their fears
fell short of reality. The God Makers’ master, Arleth, means to
show the world just what they’re capable of, threatening a city and
the sisters’ loved ones in the process. And the sisters would make
an invaluable addition to his ranks… whether they want to or
not.
To
save their loved ones and a city of innocent people, the sisters
chosen by the gods challenge those who would create gods, all while
trying to accomplish the most difficult task of all – forgiving
themselves.
Though
based on the events in Book 3, this is a stand-alone novel and can be
read without first reading the others.
