The Crossroads Inn Series
Stay the Night
Six books. One inn. Every road leads back.
Book One
The Keeper's Reluctance
The Crossroads Inn, Book 1
The battlefield has no place for broken things.
Briar Thornheart said it to her own soldiers the day she dismissed them, after the magic at Ashen Reach took her sword arm and eleven of her command. She meant it as a kindness. She knew it was a lie.
Six months later, with five coins and no plan, she signs a deed for an inn she didn't know existed — at a crossroads where five realms touch, run by a man who watched her from the upper window before she ever knocked. The fire was already burning. The bed was already made.
The Crossroads Inn doesn't look for warriors. It looks for the ones who walked away.
And something in its foundation is starting to wake.
