Awakening Blood Oath (Darkstone #1)

Death follows them. Death waits ahead.

Two squads marched north. Neither returned. Now Kira Silverwind and six fellow misfits of Squad 922 are sent after them, deep into a frontier the kingdom has all but forgotten.

Along the road, seven strangers become something closer to family, and a caravan of desperate souls begins to follow in their wake.

Bandits who would sooner die than be taken. A crescent pendant that warms with a mind of its own. Scars that were never hers. And secrets the squad keeps even from themselves.

Some of those secrets will not keep.
