THE REBELLION BEGINS — NOVEMBER 30
Renegade: Book I in The Legends of Iron Spine
Paperback and hardback copies available for pre-order from November 1st.
Empires burn from the edges first.
Because where tyranny tights, legends rise.
The Legends of Iron Spine
Across the fractured continent of Orbis, tyranny festers and the elements bleed. One girl vanishes into myth, her true name lost—only a symbol remains: Iron Spine.
Born of tundra and shadow, Chaelle Skysong rises from captive to commander, her legend whispered through frostbitten mines, desert barracks, and rebel camps carved into earth and ash.
Alongside Willærd Al’Gaze—an outcast boy haunted by bloodlines and prophecy—they spark a rebellion against the empire of General Vortigen, whose grip chokes three realms.
As the war spreads from the snow-glazed North to the burning sands of Solis, alliances are forged, betrayals bite deep, and the price of freedom grows steeper with every vow broken and life lost.
In a world where names die but legends endure, the rebellion didn’t begin with a person—it began with a story.
And that story is far from over.
AFTER RENEGADE, THE WAR DEEPENS.
Thorns of Sand & Ice: Book II in The Legends of Iron Spine
