Dara as Tearnin wanted adventure. Instead she got kidnapping, betrayal, and a prophecy that everyone interprets to suit themselves. Dragged across the Tiarna and beyond by supposed allies who see her as a tool rather than a person, she is learning the hard way that power without choice is just a cage with prettier bars. Dara is done being chosen. This time she'll make her own choices. Breag left his farm, his wife, and his daughters to rescue a girl who isn't his blood, because nobody else had the skill or the history to come home alive from it. He knows what Tearmann costs. He paid that price once already. Going back means facing the shards of his past, and learning that those shards are sharper, and cut deeper, than he ever could have guessed. Sionna never hungered for power. She wanted her children safe, her husband home, and to enjoy the quiet life she had fought so hard for. The Fiach had other ideas. When the people she should have been able to trust betray her in the worst way possible, Sionna takes the measure of the power she has been carefully, quietly hoarding — and what she's willing to do with it to protect her own. To Save a Lost Soul is the third book in the Tiarna Beo series — a gritty, intimate epic where the battles that matter most aren't the ones fought with weapons, the gods are real but not always right, and the most dangerous thing a person can do is love with their whole heart. Because love like that changes everything. Whether you want it to or not.
