Remnants of the Guard

An epic fantasy World War will be decided by magical combat, palace intrigue, secret steampunk nukes, and... an adoptive father-daughter bond? Roskvir is a war hero of the Albion Royal Marines, duty bound to carry out a surprise attack striking deep into the Setetic Empire. But when he discovers an unexpected sympathy for a young Setetic princess, his treasonous new doubts set him on a deadly collision course with Albion's sacred warrior code. Kerauna, meanwhile, is a fresh graduate of the Setetic Emprie's Patrol Corps academy. When a spat with a noble scion sees her demoted to a distant backwater, she's ready to give up on her career. But unbeknownst to Kera, her reassignment has placed her in just the wrong place at the right time to tip the scales of the coming conflict.  Roskvir and Kera are trained soldiers, both convinced they can weather any storm. But neither is prepared for the sudden, world-rending cataclysm that strikes like a bolt from the blue -- one that shakes their deepest loyalties to the core.
