Publisher's Synopsis
Fifteen years after the end of the Thorrin War, peace between Bazel and Seragora stands on the brink. Mysterious attacks on villages spark accusations, threatening to shatter the fragile alliance. Amid the turmoil, Ky'len, a squire with chip on his shoulder and his friend Iszell cross paths with Tala, a skilled muckspawn warrior with unsettling truths to reveal. She hints at a hidden puppeteer behind the chaos: the enigmatic Mrs. Thorn, a figure capable of turning friend against friend with her mastery of dark magic. Elsewhere, Razma, the curious son of a stable master, stumbles into a complex web that reaches further than he imagined. His father, Belazar, must confront echoes of his past as new faces stir old memories. Meanwhile, Dalmon, a local shopkeeper, and Warden, a rogue caught in the same tangled web, must confront their own struggles to help expose the true danger threatening their lands. With tensions mounting, King Tor'valis and Queen Raelle struggle to keep the realm from descending into conflict. To stop the looming shadow, Ky'len, Iszell, and Tala must forge an unlikely alliance and race against time to thwart Thorn's ambitions before chaos consumes Palrazara.
