"A classic, breathtaking adventure brimful of dangerous magic and
clever politics."―Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne
Loyalties are tested and nations clash in the second novel of a fresh
epic fantasy series bursting with adventure, intrigue, ambition, and
deadly magic.
Ryxander, the Warden of Gloamingard, has failed. Unsealed by her blood,
the Door hidden within the black tower has opened. Now, for the first
time since the age of the Graces, demons walk the world.
As tensions grow between nations, all eyes--and daggers--are set on
Morgrain, which has fallen under the Demon of Discord's control. When an
artifact with the power to wipe out all life in a domain is stolen, Ryx
will do whatever it takes to save her home from destruction. But success
may demand a larger sacrifice from Ryx than she could have imagined.
