Prior series installments include:

#0.5 From the Ashes (free to my newsletter subscribers!)

#1 Of Thieves and Shadows

I've included the blurb and cover below to entice you, but here are some things to keep in mind:

-It's an adult epic fantasy novella set some time after the events of From the Ashes but long prior to Of Thieves and Shadows 

-It stars a main POV character from OTAS 

-Though I've tried to write the novellas as standalone stories, you will be missing some great easter eggs and character development tidbits if you haven't read anything set in Quinaria prior

-There are OTAS spoilers in From the Depths, so please know that going in if you haven't read the previous books in the series. 

-Finally, while I've tried to make this newbie-friendly, some elements of the world building may be lost on you if this is your first foray into Quinaria. 

If you're still intrigued and on-board after all this, I'm elated to have you along for the journey. 

Blurb and trigger warnings:

"The world can sustain the needs of many, but the greed of a few can destroy it for all.

In a life steeped in peril, the Brune family has thrived on the knife’s edge. Renowned for their smuggling and bounty exploits, Konar and Karliah’s parents command both respect and fear. Comfortable yet haunted, the family faces the constant threat of perilous assignments, leaving scars that even a parent’s protective embrace can’t heal.

Still, Konar dreams of scholarly pursuits, and Karliah sees the world as something ripe for the taking. When the emperor dangles an irresistible offer—a job to end their dangerous pursuits forever—the Brunes seize the chance. But there’s a catch: the item in question is little more than a myth, deemed impossible to find.

As the family embarks on the voyage of a lifetime, their bonds are tested like never before. Locating and securing the prize will require sacrifices beyond measure, and when your family is in the business of pirating, trust is the greatest myth of all.

From the Depths is a prequel novella that takes place roughly a thousand years prior to the events in Of Thieves and Shadows—volume one in the epic fantasy series, The Heart of Quinaria."
