Glyph and Glaive — Stephen Taylor

Jinaten 'Tenswords' Teserot is a war hero. She's also on the run, the chief suspect for a murderous plot against her own soldiers. In a desperate gambit to clear her name and rally her fractured army against new enemies, Jinaten hunts the elusive Onyx Order-a group of mages concealed by the Optacracy she has sworn to protect. Her only clear allies are Giovel Ullin, an unruly messenger, and the Witherclaw Witch.Glyph and Glaive is the second volume in The Witherclaw Trilogy.
