Unforgiveable betrayals, devious motives, and forbidden love collide in the first installment of internationally best-selling author Sally Green’s epic new fantasy series, perfect for Game of Thrones fans.

In a land tinged with magic and a bustling trade in an illicit supernatural substance, destiny will intertwine the fates of five players:

• A visionary princess determined to forge her own path
• An idealistic solider whose heart is at odds with his duty
• A streetwise hunter tracking the most dangerous prey
• A charming thief with a powerful hidden identity
• A loyal servant on a quest to avenge his kingdom

All are driven by ambition, honor, and desperation on the cusp of war. But who will be left standing when the smoke clears?
