The Sacred Throne novellas shift Myke Cole from modern military fantasy to a medieval setting. The Armored Saint, The Queen of Crows, and The Killing Light, published in 2018 and 2019, follow a young woman in a world where the church burns anyone who manifests magical abilities. Her journey from witness to rebel to something more drives the three interconnected stories.
The novella format keeps the series tight and focused. Cole brings the same interest in how institutions handle power that drives his Shadow Ops books, but applies it to a religious hierarchy rather than a military one.
