Description
On an unknown world shaped by shifting empires and ancient rivalries, a priestess is brutally silenced—an act that fractures a fragile order and sets a dangerous chain of fate in motion. From that violence comes a hidden heir, a baby born of royal blood and raised among strangers, growing into a man who must decide what kind of power he will wield. As he searches for his true identity, he becomes entangled in the storm of competing peoples, loyalties, and sacred claims that threaten to swallow the future. With Tanith Lee’s signature lyrical intensity and mythic, high-stakes storytelling, this novel explores themes of destiny versus choice, the cost of empire, and the resilience of the human spirit amid betrayal and brutality.
