The deal with the head of the Domain of Tlen is finished, and for the first time since I arrived in this world, I finally felt safe. Oh, if only I had known how wrong I was! I would never have gone to the First Day celebration. I would never have allowed myself to give in to feelings!
And now... the conspirators know who I am. Ancient magic is gathering strength again. I need protection—but will I be able to find it? All that’s left is to hope I’ll make it to the secret halls of Stuzhа and rewrite my own rules:
Beware the magic of Life.
Don’t trust the promises of the Storm.
Curses awaken the Shadows.
