The Oleander Sword

The nameless god's prophecy—the words that named Malini the lawful empress of Parijatdvipa—has proved both a blessing and a burden. She is adamant about claiming the kingdom that fate has bestowed upon her. Even with the fury in her heart and an army of devoted soldiers on her side, deposing her brother will be a nasty and deadly battle. Priya's blood is infused with the power of the deathless seas. Priya, the thrice-born priestess and Elder of Ahiranya, wishes to see her kingdom free of the rot that has afflicted it: both Parijatdvipa's toxic reign and the blossoming illness that is steadily infecting all living things.

But she isn't yet aware of the true nature of the power she holds. Their chosen paths previously separated them. But Malini and Priya's spirits are as intertwined as their fates. And they quickly understand that banding together is the only way to defend their kingdom from those who would rather see it burn—even if it means paying a high price.
