Description
In a world where legends feel closer than truth, a young noble in grave danger clings to a single, half-mythic hope: Cyrion, the man everyone seems to know about in song and story. Desperate to outrun an impending fate, he sets out to find the legendary hero—only to discover that the search itself is tangled in politics, promises, and the dangerous power of belief. As Roilant is pulled toward a binding betrothal to his cousin Eliset, the story widens into a meta-plot of destiny and performance, where who you think you are—and who others insist you must be—can determine survival. With Tanith Lee’s signature lyrical intensity and sly, myth-haunted imagination, this tale explores fate versus agency, the cost of inherited obligations, and the unsettling ways legends can both save and trap us.
