Requiem of the Gods

As teams form on both sides of the war that's brewing, Bellona finds herself ready to take on anyone who stands between her and getting her son back. Knowing what Kera's done with Rydenhie hasn't just shown herself to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, it's shown everyone she isn't the woman she pretended to be. Now though, with Nemesis having returned to help Bell in this fight, Bellona's about to find a fallen friend she's longed to see for so many years. Their reunion's one of the gods and something that will show Bellona the road ahead.

Kera finds herself face to face with her father for the first time in almost one hundred years. However, with coming to stand in Alexander's army, Kera can't run away this time. She learns a truth she didn't know about her mother and father, and from it, remembers parts of her past she'd forced herself to forget. With it coming back to her, Kera comes to understand herself better, and ultimately ties herself and her coven to everyone in the army.

War is a fickle thing when it comes, favoring so many only to turn on them at the drop of a hat. And as both sides stand against one another to take what they each think is theirs, even the best in combat will come to feel the waning grasp of war's ever changing hand.
