About the book

About Black Sun and Scarlet Skies

Everything Rowan ever dreamed of was taken away the day her father died fighting the skulled-face monsters haunting southern Ithika. When Rowan turned sixteen, she enrolled in the Ithikan Military Academy to become the soldier her father once was. Thinking she could change the world, she runs into her childhood friend Lee, the current captain of the Black Sun Army. Lee joined the army too young, and he's seen death too early. He is no longer the kind and compassionate boy Rowan grew up with when she visited the army base a decade ago. Both are different people, no longer the children they once were. Still, they must push aside their differences to find the end to this war that has taken their share of loved ones. Rowan must learn how to control her recklessness, and Lee must keep his head on his shoulders and his feelings at bay to keep the woman he loves safe.
