Zai, a soldier, and her squad live a life of brutal hit-and-run operations and training the people of Aviye to resist the will of the Hegemons that divided her nation.

As Zai and Amri struggle to understand the truth of the path, deadly enemies and even divisions within their own people must be overcome. Yet in the shadows of the Hegemony lurks an enemy far older and more powerful than even they can imagine. -------- I invite you to consider my other works if you are interested: https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-demon-lord-is-an-angel_28486713700592205#review I also have a Discord if you want to communicate with me directly: https://discord.gg/ksJ8dJup4d Special thanks to SapphoAndHerFriend for her support and help with the cover.

Struggle's End - Part 1

In daylight, the city of Linan smoked from the ruins of hundreds of ruined structures.

But below the silence of the scattering clouds, the People moved earth and stone as they worked to clear the ruins. In places where the destruction had not visited, they smiled with newfound strength and understanding. In other places, solemnity permeated the air with the counting of the dead.

They worked through the sense of loss. Through fear and strife.

Not a coin was spent during the Interstice, as the necessities of life were given freely to all who worked to rebuild the city. From every corner of Aviye came trucks laden with supplies, and to every corner, they returned with those who would speak the news of what happened there. Sharing the strength they had been given to cultivate. Sharing the song that they had heard.
