“... the many skirmishes, battles, and action scenes throughout this novel excel at keeping the story thrilling—at which points many fans of the fantasy genre will find it impossible to put A PROMISE OF POWER down. Rachel Enriquez has created a rich world that provides an immersive backdrop for characters caught in a struggle for power and the freedom to be true to themselves.”

-IndieReader (IR Approved)

A Promise of Power—the explosive first installment in the Etherborn series—is a sweeping tale of power, war, and ancient magic. Perfect for fans of The Priory of the Orange Tree and A Game of Thrones, this book delivers character-driven storytelling, rich world-building, political intrigue, and the heart-pounding, high-stakes battles of John Gwynne.

Born for war. Shattered by secrets. Bound by magic.

Trained since birth to be the catalyst for her father’s ambitions, Neith Dracos will have to decide if these ambitions are also her own.

Born a king's bastard, Calithea Ironne has known only privilege and peace. But when war reaches her home, long-kept secrets rise to the surface — and nothing she thought she knew will survive them.

All Nara Nyanthi wants is a quiet life with the woman she loves. As one of the most powerful wielders in the Esērii, she finds herself at odds with the High Council over their designs for her. When a long-feared war begins, Nara must choose where she stands and what she believes in.

Three women, unknown to one another, will soon find their lives intertwined as war rages and magic returns to the known world.

“The pressure escalates so gradually that at first it's almost imperceptible, until the story tightens, and the consequences feel unavoidable... I can't believe this doesn't have a publisher. This should have a publisher.”
