In
a world where seventh born sons are valued for their strength and
power, she is born a daughter.
Zezilia
Ilar is the disappointment. Born after six brothers, she was supposed
to be the son to restore her family’s prestige. She intends to
remedy her shortcomings by being a dutiful daughter, marrying well
and producing children, preferably a set of seven sons. But when
someone offers her an alternative, she begins to dream of more.
In
a society that worships a goddess, he follows the Almighty.
Hadrian
Aleron, as a seventh son of a seventh son, stands to take up the
second highest position in government, Sept Son. His main
qualification for office is his birth. Despite preparing for this
role from childhood, he does not desire what is to come. As a
follower of the Almighty, he knows he will be the target of many, and
his faith might eventually lead to death.

BORN is first in a series of three books.
The
Defender

Talented Book 2
Zezilia
Ilar joins the sept son's entourage as a defender. Her growing Talent
ability makes her a target for the Elitists, and her gender makes
people question her competence. She must protect the sept son.
Any
mistake could be fatal.
Hadrian
Aleron always knew his beliefs would cause trouble, but he didn't
realize how much. Rebels are rising. He could lose his title, his
position, and if he's not careful, his life. As the assassination
attempts grow bolder, Hadrian must rely upon his young defender and
their shared faith in the Almighty to keep him from faltering.

Separated,
but still joined, they strive for freedom.
Left
behind at the sept son's compound, Zezilia Ilar struggles with the
after effects of her prolonged commisceo-link with Hadrian. She
devotes herself to caring for the wounded arriving almost daily from
the battlefields. Pressed to perform procedures and make decisions
far beyond her training, Zez grows in confidence and skill. All the
while, she wonders if she'll see Hadrian again, fearing the worst
possible news will arrive any day.
Sept
Son Hadrian Aleron fights to bring peace to his home nation. Allied
with the new high king, he and a small army of Talented struggle to
retake the capital city. Elitists, though scattered, continue to pick
off the strongest of his men. As he battles the remnants of the
commisceo-link and tries to organize the campaign, he begins losing
himself to exhaustion. Only a miracle will keep him alive.
Living
Sacrifice is
the third in a trilogy. Reading Seventh
Born and The
Defender first

Rachel
Rossano is a happily married mother of three children. She spends her
days teaching, mothering, and keeping the chaos at bay. After the
little ones are in bed, she immerses herself in the fantasy worlds of
her books. Tales of romance, adventure, and virtue set in a medieval
fantasy world are her preference, but she also writes speculative
fantasy and a bit of science fiction.
