Publisher's Synopsis
Two paths, one choice. Honourable death which dooms the kingdoms, or dishonourable life which saves them? Grieving, confused, and angry after the death of his bonded Sorcerer, Trerin must stay alive long enough to fulfil a prophecy. If he fails to save Princess Rykatu Crystu, the powerful Sorceress will be magically converted to serve their enemies' god and will lead his armies to victory against her own people. The fate of the Kingdoms now rests on the formerly carefree shapeshifter. Dishonoured while he remains alive, part of him longs for death, and there are many enemies ahead who are eager to oblige. How can he find the strength to choose life and duty, when honour - and his Second Oath - demands death?
