Betrayal, war, and the risks of loyalty collide in the epic conclusion
of the First Argentines series by the Wall Street Journal bestselling
author of Lady's Ransom.
Ransom Barton has served three Argentine kings. The new successor to the
throne is the ruthless Jon-Landon, a fallible strategist when it comes
to war. After losing against the Occitanian armies, the king forces
Ransom to bear the blame and removes him from the council. But
Jon-Landon isn't yet through with humbling the honorable knight of
Ceredigion.
When a retaliatory battle succeeds, Jon-Landon invites Ransom back into
his circle. Though Ransom's Fountain magic is made stronger by his
fealty, he's once again forced to make a terrible choice. And this time,
Ransom's wife, Claire, and their sons could pay the price for Ransom's
loyalty.
But as tensions between Ceredigion and Occitania reignite and alliances
at court begin to crumble, a desperate Jon-Landon discovers his only
ally is the knight he betrayed. With the future of Kingfountain hanging
in the balance, Ransom agrees to help. And as secret enemies reveal
their endgame, Ransom knows that he may have to make the ultimate
sacrifice for the survival of the Argentine dynasty.
