The Crystal of Life Series Box Set: Books 1 & 2

CRESTAHN KINGDOM A crystal shard of almost insurmountable power. An ancient being trapped in a black mask. And an intergalactic war that unveils a family’s dark secret. When she was young, Lendelam believed she’d be the heroine who would end the tyranny against those who shared her interspecific bloodline. To accomplish that, she had to drain her ancestor’s essence from six crystal shards that were spread throughout the galaxy. However, after a botched mission led to the deaths of her friends, her pipe dream was soon forgotten. Years later, Lendelam is a successful freelance portal maker, and a happy wife and mother. But when she is contacted by the king of Crestahn to conjure a portal near one of the crystal shards she had neglected to deplete, her past comes barreling back to haunt her. The king wants to use the essence as a weapon that could potentially end the war, but she refuses to help him kill billions in a battle she wants no part of. Accustomed to getting his way, the king forces her hand, and heartbroken, Lendelam makes the hardest decision of her life. Forever A King A MOMENT OF PEACE OVERSHADOWED BY FATE. Homelessness and famine plague Crestahn’s growing korabolet population. As the nation’s new king, the arduous task of ending their plight has fallen onto Gretig. To make matters worse, a group of vigilantes with high-powered weapons has been raiding the city’s supplies. For the next several years, Gretig is immersed in his job and the joys of fatherhood. Then the Sovereign summons the Council of Twelve Nations to fend off the approaching Triumvirate force, and his world spirals out of control. Sovereign Rokton has the remaining crystal shard. The enemy wants to obtain it. And Gretig is forced to make a decision that could get him killed by either side. Blood-bonded to the man she loves, mother of two beautiful children, the queen of Crestahn couldn't have asked for a better life...until an assassin from her past tries to murder her son. With the Triumvirate finally making their move, and the Council of Twelve Nations showing their true colors, Sha'ella isn't sure whom to trust. And with her life and the lives of her loved ones on the line, she must fight to alter what appears to be an inevitable and bitter conclusion. *Bonus prologue at the end of the box set*
