The opening novel of a new series, united by a dark fantasy world. It will appeal to those who value the atmosphere and harshness of George R. R. Martin’s and Joe Abercrombie’s stories: here there are no flawless saviors—only ambiguous people, difficult decisions, fear, and hopelessness.

In Langelaou, war drags on for years: the Order burns heresy on the western peninsula, and the price is paid in hunger, plague, and maimed destinies. Yersene was six when her village was burned in an attempt to stop the plague. As she was dying, her mother ordered her to seek protection in the Order—and this path turned into trouble. Ahead are twelve years of training and growing up among those whom war breaks without mercy.

Moonfire flares over Liessem from green stone. In its glow, the Spirits demand a high price for the right to serve them—and especially cruelly they will collect from the girl who believed she could give everything.
