I’m ready for anything so that the tragedy that happened to my hometown will never repeat— even if it means pretending that I lost the war and surrendered. Now I have to cross half the world to reach the Great Father and convince him: living people are far more useful than the dead.
But it’s not that simple. Ebrahil still wants to put a slave collar on me. Hireem wants to take the daughter away. Amil wants me to help the brother who lost his inheritance. And Arram… Arram says I must save Vaydila, stuck in the Heart of the Northern Wasteland. But I still don’t know what this mercenary truly wants.
