A thrilling new fantasy series--full of deadly magic, double crosses,
and a dangerous quest in a new world--from Sara Raasch, the New York
Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series.
Adeluna is a soldier. Five years ago, she helped the magic-rich island
of Grace Loray overthrow its oppressor, Agrid, a country ruled by
religion.
But adjusting to postwar life has not been easy. When an Argridian
delegate vanishes during peace talks with Grace Loray's new Council,
Argrid demands brutal justice--but Lu suspects something dangerous is at
work.
Devereux is a pirate. As one of the stream raiders who run rampant on
Grace Loray, he scavenges the island's magic plants and sells them on
the black market. But after Argrid accuses raiders of the diplomat's
abduction, Vex becomes a target. An expert navigator, he agrees to help
Lu find the Argridian--but the truth they uncover could be deadlier than
any war.
Benat is a heretic. The crown prince of Argrid, he harbors a secret
obsession with Grace Loray's forbidden magic. When Ben's father, the
king, gives him the shocking task of reversing Argrid's fear of magic,
Ben has to decide if one prince can change a devout country--or if he's
building his own pyre.
As conspiracies arise, Lu, Vex, and Ben will have to decide who they
really are . . . and what they are willing to become for peace.
