THE INNISFAIL CYCLE
Publishing House: Burnt Leaf Press (Formerly Lights Out Ink)
An outcast with few loyalties, Ben Maeden has no interest in the political strife brewing in the South. Convinced a man without pride has nothing left to lose, he's content to fade into drunken obscurity in the wilderness. That is, until a rare moment of conscience compels him to rescue a young noblewoman from a band of mercenaries.
This auspicious encounter hurls him into the heart of a far-reaching conspiracy, for Una Moura is no ordinary girl. Branded a heretic and scourged by her own people, she harbors a secret that could spell disaster for everyone. Hunted by militant nobles, dark creatures, and ambitious zealots; Ben and Una find themselves in a desperate race to prevent a war. Though, not every enemy lurks in the shadows. Haunted by the ghosts of a former life; Ben may discover his greatest challenge lies within.
Can he reconcile his past to safeguard Innisfail's future, or is he doomed to repeat his mistakes...to the detriment of all?
“I have rarely experienced so rich, intense, and complex a world as the one L.M. Riviere brings to vivid life in her Innisfail Cycle.”

“Violent, beautiful, and enthralling- a fantasy epic powerful enough to hold its own against the greats.”
—K.M. WEST, AUTHOR OF 'WILD THINGS WILL ROAM'
“A stunningly beautiful epic fantasy rich in detail and character. In my mind's eye, I could literally smell the forest pine and taste the chill air. Watch out Tolkien, Riviere has your number!”
—JASON MEUSCHKE, AUTHOR OF 'BANDIT RISING' AND '9 MILE BRIDGE'
