The Gardens of AlmhainL.H. Mallory2012

On the peninsula of Calabria, corruption has driven the greatest of its four kingdoms to the verge of civil war. Far to the west, across a glistening sea, the sacred Isle of Alesia is attacked by an unknown enemy, igniting the ancient fury of the Twin Gods.

Isidora Fiannan, heir to the Lord and Lady of Alesia, escapes the massacre and seeks sanctuary on Calabria. Guided by hands of fate beyond her understanding, she stumbles into the very center of the peninsula’s conflict. Beside her stands an unlikely ally — Arturo Bellamont, infamous courtier and former assassin of the dead king — who has reasons of his own for safeguarding the Alesian Lady.

As mortal armies rise, so too does a celestial army bent on vengeance for the burning of Alesia. Isidora, Arturo, and their companions must travel the narrow, treacherous roads of destiny to find the key to Calabria’s salvation: a memory of hope and dream of new beginnings.
