Ticca, a fame-hungry mercenary, is willing to skirt the edges of her warrior's code if it brings her the fame she desires. Her hopes of making a name for herself by spying on assassins are dashed when she's forced to kill the assassin she was hired to watch. Lebuin is a rich journeyman mage who's just discovered his new rank involves actual journeying. He hires Ticca to help him advance to master and return to a life of comfort as quickly as possible. He's willing to spend all he has to make it happen, but the mage and his mercenary get much more than they bargained for. Trapped in the crossfire of a vast power game, Ticca and Lebuin must survive a battle between rulers, guilds, and gods. In a land of magic and technology, they'll need to give everything to keep themselves in one piece. NiyaYur is a world driven by wizards, gods, and an imperial space marine 20,000 years into our future. The Golden Threads Series is an epic fantasy/speculative sci-fi set in the distant future. If you like heroic, humorous, and exotic characters in a world that mixes elements of paranormal and hard sci-fi, then you'll love this beautiful, original, and thought-provoking adventure. Tags and content warnings mainly give me the freedom to go where I need to go if I need to go there. But really, this stuff would be rated PG-13 if it were a Hollywood movie. This is being released as an audiobook podcast on Spotify (and many other podcaster sites), early access at ReamStories.com/GoldenThreads, eventually as eBooks and audiobooks, and, of course, here on RoyalRoad.
