S. I. Waxman

When the world tried to break her, Tess fought back. After the better part of a year stuck in an expansive dungeon, Tess, Cal, and Verin are ready to escape by any means necessary. Now, far stronger than when they arrived, they've finally managed to destroy one of the four collection crystals...

The threat of dark gods has passed. The forest is safe. The deadlands have stopped expanding. Now, all Tess really wants is a vacation. Unfortunately for her, fate has other plans....

Broken. Trapped. Surrounded by vicious monsters.

Wrathful kings. Dark gods. Conniving guards. None of them will keep Tess from what little normalcy she's managed to find. After being thrust into a foreign city under a false identity, things are finally starting to settle down for Tess.
