The Envoys of War (The Envoys of Chaos #1)

Don’t kill the messengers.

Gen has the perfect job: traveling the realm, drinking wine, and hitting things with her sword. Her latest assignment should be a simple one. Escort Cordyn, an envoy and her closest friend, through enemy territory to deliver vital military intelligence.

Except the mission is fake.

The King suspects Cordyn is a traitor, and Gen’s true orders are to watch him. Closely.
Cordyn may be a brash, arrogant libertine with a gift for trouble, but Gen can't imagine him capable of such a betrayal. Bandits lurk.
Mages seek vengeance.
An enemy plot surfaces and Cordyn’s usually complex schemes grow more tangled.
Gen is forced to choose what matters most: the mission or her friends.
Even if it means never going home again.

A rollicking fantasy adventure for fans of Dungeons and Dragons, Nicholas Eames, and Michael J. Sullivan.
