With every life she takes, Corelle loses part of herself. Banished from her homeland of Dur for murder, Corelle sails south, but the fates written for her bring no peace. As she strives to understand her true nature, an unexpected letter summons her home. There, the shadows of the past stalk her still, remnants of the Guild she believed she had destroyed. She pursues them across the land determined to remove the stain of the Guild from Dur for all time. As she struggles to find redemption, those closest to her attempt to bring light to Corelle's inner darkness. Her foes, however, are determined to kill her. Survival hangs by a slender thread. Corelle must battle those who wish her dead even as she appears determined to cut that thread by her own actions. Following the events of The Vermilion Saga, The Blade Of Ryl, the first book of the Corelle Of Dur series, is an alt-world sapphic fantasy adventure.
