Overview

"The Gates of Horn is an Adult Fantasy novel complete at 128,000 words. Death has smothered the Lucan Empire. While Sisenna, daughter of the emperor, mourns the death of her youngest brother, Sisenna's power-hungry uncle sends assassins to kill her parents—and very nearly Sisenna herself. Ousted from her seat of power, Sisenna is tossed into the streets with nothing but her loyal bodyguard and her own wits to protect her. Thirsting for vengeance, she sneaks out of Luca and across the continent in search of her eldest brother, so she can warn him of their uncle's treachery. But when Sisenna learns her sister Ravilla survived the assassination not by running, but by striking a deal with the very man who killed their parents, she's forced to reckon with the question: Is she willing to destroy her sister to save her brother's birthright and the empire itself?" -- Abstract
