Before We Rise

Life as Jace knew it has been turned upside down. Though she had never planned to stay, she's now been tasked with her greatest quest yet: leader of the court.

Faced with indecision, loneliness, and a court of people who do not trust her, she turns to the aid of her friends. When ghosts begin to haunt her, Jace begins to uncover just how deeply the corruption of the Raznik dynasty goes.

She wouldn't have a problem solving this mystery - if it weren't for the fact that she's also playing host to the Nautilus of Courts for the Spring Equinox, an attempt to undo the century of damage and enmity caused by those who came before her.

Friendships and romances, old and new, undergo a test as Jace races to save her court from collapsing beneath the weight of corruption and dark magic.
