Harbinger

Arden Icaros comes from the poorest of Antares's five noble bloodlines, and she would rather be working the family farm than standing at court. All she has to do is get through the ceremony where she is meant to inherit her house's earth magic, then go home.

The ceremony goes wrong. Arden is marked with a forbidden constellation, and half the realm now believes she is a harbinger of war. Powerful noble houses want her dead, and assassins are on her trail.

Her one chance is Bishop, the most feared man in the kingdom, sworn to an order that lets him execute first and ask questions later. He is loyal to the crown that wants Arden dead, and he should kill her. Instead he hides her. The longer she stays under his protection, the more she learns about the secrets he keeps, and the more dangerous the pull between them becomes.

Harbinger is the first book in a new epic fantasy series from Geneva Lee, published by Red Tower Books in September 2026.
