Lavender & Ginger: A Callus Kordec Tale (The Voidscar Chronicles) - Signed by Ethan Jakob

Callus Kordec was bred for blood.

Raised in the brutal spectacle of the Scarred Lands and forged into a legendary arena champion, he was once adored by roaring crowds and feared by every fool forced to face him in the sand. But glory is a fickle thing. Betrayed, broken, and left to rot beneath the weight of old wounds and older sins, Callus becomes exactly what the world always expected of him—a monster with a blade in his hand and nothing left to lose.

Arialyn Foghand was never meant to build beautiful things.

Born to a powerful priestly family, she was supposed to inherit a life of duty, devotion, and obedience. Instead, she chose forbidden invention, void-touched mechanics, and exile. Brilliant, stubborn, and far too clever for her own safety, Arialyn has spent years surviving on the fringes of a world that would rather use her gifts than understand them.

When a chance encounter turns into a desperate escape across the wild and broken lands of Yonara, the disgraced gladiator and the runaway artificer are thrown together by violence, hunted by assassins, bounty killers, and ghosts from both their pasts. To survive, they’ll need more than steel, magic, and Arialyn’s impossible machines. They’ll need trust.

That may be the most dangerous thing of all.

As old enemies close in and a darker force begins to stir beneath the scars of the world itself, Callus and Arialyn find something neither of them expected: comfort, belonging… and the kind of love that feels terrifyingly like hope.

Lavender & Ginger is a dark, character-driven sword-and-sorcery fantasy packed with brutal action, sharp humor, strange magic, aching romance, and two broken people trying to decide whether they deserve to be saved.
