Book One of the Kismet Sai

The immortal Godchild Eshenne has descended into madness. She tries to use a demon-forged dagger to end her existence, but the wizard Aesop binds her in undeath within her magical garden. His obsession corrupts the Everdeath. The Children are reborn, and the Seasons of Chaos turn once more.

Unaware of the coming end of times, Captain Jed Oduin is posted as the reluctant sheriff of the remote village of Wenn. Despite his misgivings, he grows to care for its people and vows to protect them as best he can. But the seasons have turned. Jed must face invasion—and the echo of a Godchild awakening within him.
