Arden Lesstymine (known to everyone as Trouble) likes attention as much as the next girl, but this is getting ridiculous. When an insane stranger is murdered at the inn where she works, Trouble becomes the next Soulbearer for the disembodied god of chaos, Loku. Yes, it comes with the ability to channel the god's limitless power, but at the cost of her sanity - literally.

Arden Soulbearer has fought a god, defeated a necromancer, and driven enemy invaders out of her homeland. Now the only reward she desires is to marry the man who's been by her side through it all - her knight protector, Dev. But with her happy ending almost in reach, an ancient crime returns to haunt them...and the punishment is Dev's death.

Trouble is more than just a nickname for Arden Soulbearer. It seems to follow her wherever she goes. And no one knows this better than her protector, Devarius Tel'Brien. Dev thought that by moving Arden to Gravaria so she could learn how to control Loku, the chaos god whose soul inhabits her body, life would be simpler. Wrong. Not only is he continually torn between his duty and his growing feelings for the Soulbearer, but he also has to contend with the rival prince who wishes to claim her heart.

Nothing stirs up chaos like vengeance.... When Prince Kell returns to Ranello, he finds his homeland in ashes. The invaders from Thallus destroyed everything he held dear, leaving him heir to a throne he can't claim. The thirst for vengeance consumes him and drives him right into the arms of the most unlikely of rebel leaders. Zara has fought for months to keep the hopes of the Ranellian people alive, finding Kell is just the thing their dying rebellion needs.
