A political scion and her magically bound fire warlock undertake
diplomacy and espionage to prevent a war in the second book of a
spellbinding fantasy trilogy from David Gemmell Award-nominated author
Melissa Caruso.
Across the border, the Witch Lords of Vaskandar are preparing for war.
But before an invasion can begin, the seventeen Witch Lords must convene
at a rare gathering to decide a course of action.
Lady Amalia Cornaro knows this Conclave might be her only chance to
smother the growing flames of war, and she is prepared to make any
sacrifice if it means saving Raverra from destruction. Amalia and her
bound fire warlock, Zaira, must go behind enemy lines, using every ounce
of wit and cunning they have, to sway Vaskandar from war.
If they fail, it will all come down to swords and fire.
