Quote:A spirited blacksmith's daughter accused of using the dark and terrifying sleth magic.
The young man who hunts her.
And the ferocious monster who only wants to be free.
Trapped in a web of lies and ancient secrets, of right becoming wrong, the three must struggle not only against each other, but also a being of irresistible powers, a creature who is gathering her servants to usher in the impending human harvest.
If the three succeed, they will save those they love the most. If they fail, the clans of the land fall with them.
Thus begins the towering fantasy series that introduces an elaborate new world, a multifaceted system of magic, and a cast of compelling characters and creatures.
What people are saying:
"A great setting, a smart story"
~ BRANDON SANDERSON, New York Times best-selling author
"Engrossing debut . . . Readers will be rewarded with a thoroughly enjoyable fantasy adventure."
~ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"A provocative, suspenseful beginning of a new series."
~ BOOKLIST
"This well-wrought tale of families in conflict against both politics and religion represents a welcome addition to large-scale fantasy."
~ LIBRARY JOURNAL (Starred Review!)
"This was deeper than a hack and slash adventure, but it was still really fun. It was surprisingly deep when it came to things like family, trust, and truth. That said, I was still engrossed enough to pound through this novel in a couple of sittings."
~ LARRY CORREIA, New York Times best-selling author
