The Flight to Concord: Book 6 - The Severing Cycle

She broke the world once, by accident. Now she has to walk back into the city that exiled her — unarmed, unseen, and utterly alone — and convince the man who runs it that she hasn’t come to finish the job.

The war has no magic left in it. The Veilgift died with the Severing, and five books of fighting have taught both sides what that actually costs — water rationed by the bell, roads that don’t exist anymore, names on boards that used to be people.

Veyra has spent years leading from the shadows, disciplined by a single rule: leave the danger rather than answer it. Now she’s breaking that rule on purpose. Disguised, unarmed, carrying nothing but the Deepgift she’s sworn not to use, she crosses alone into the Capital that once exiled her for telling the truth — to reach the one man who might actually listen.

Seradin has spent years sharing power he never asked to hold alone. Meeting her without warning the woman who shares his authority isn’t a small betrayal. It’s the first crack in the only partnership holding his government together — and he makes the choice anyway, because some conversations can’t survive being managed.

They have never stood in the same room. What they say to each other next won’t end a war. It might not even survive the week. But it’s the only real chance either side has had in five books — and neither of them is willing to let it go without finding out what’s true.

The Flight to Concord is Book Six of The Severing Cycle, closing the war-torn second trilogy on the first real attempt at peace — not the treaty, not the ending, but the fragile, costly beginning of one.
