"Tightly wound, laser-focused epic." - Kirkus
A must-read for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse, transforming The
Hunchback of Notre Dame into a powerful tundra-inspired fantasty.
Before the massacre at Nariin, Enebish was one of the greatest warriors
in the Sky King's Imperial Army: a rare and dangerous Night Spinner,
blessed with the ability to control the threads of darkness. Now, she is
known as Enebish the Destroyer--a monster and murderer, banished to a
monastery for losing control of her power and annihilating a merchant
caravan.
Guilt stricken and scarred, Enebish tries to be grateful for her
sanctuary, until her adoptive sister, Imperial Army commander Ghoa,
returns from the war front with a tantalizing offer. If Enebish can
capture the notorious criminal, Temujin, whose band of rebels has been
seizing army supply wagons, not only will her crimes be pardoned, she
will be reinstated as a warrior.
Enebish eagerly accepts. But as she hunts Temujin across the tundra, she
discovers the tides of war have shifted, and the supplies he's stealing
are the only thing keeping thousands of shepherds from starving. Torn
between duty and conscience, Enebish must decide whether to put her
trust in the charismatic rebel or her beloved sister. No matter who she
chooses, an even greater enemy is advancing, ready to bring the empire
to its knees.
