Chalice Bearer

Step into a universe where duty is a double-edged sword honed by passion. Love is not a battlefield—it is an entire galaxy.


Freedom comes with a price. . .


Lilian has succeeded in gaining her freedom and the position of Lucius' protégé. But her triumph comes at a cost. Fearful of Lady Estella's wrath, she refuses to continue her liaison with Lucius, breaking her heart and straining their relationship. The discovery that Estella is nearing death shatters everything Lilian thought she knew.


Lucius grapples with grief, torn between two women—one who he loved and watched die and one who gives him hope for the future. As Lucius' grief at Estella's loss eases, his world shatters again. Lilian has disappeared into Desperation Crevasse.


In the frigid depths of the crevasse, Lilian will battle her deepest fears and discover an ancient legacy that could alter the course of the galaxy—if she survives.
