The Farsala trilogy

Hilari Bell

In a world where power is contested in the shadows, a determined circle of Farsalans—including Lady Soraya and her half-brother Jiaan—pursues a dangerous, long-term strategy to bring down the looming threat of the Hrum. As alliances are tested and secrets deepen, their plans demand sacrifice, ingenuity, and the willingness to risk everything for a future they can barely imagine. Forging the Sword blends high-stakes adventure with political intrigue, exploring loyalty, identity, and the cost of resistance when every move could be the one that breaks the fragile coalition. With Hilari Bell’s fast-moving, character-driven storytelling, the novel turns strategy into suspense and courage into a hard-won, personal battle.
