As war rages, both sides are in a race to find the one thing that
could turn the tides to their favor -- a stone with the power to turn
humans into gods -- in the second book of Brian McClellan's epic fantasy
tale of magic and gunpowder.
The country is in turmoil. With the capital city occupied, half a
million refugees are on the march, looking for safety on the frontier,
accompanied by Lady Flint's soldiers. But escaping war is never easy,
and soon the battle may find them, whether they are prepared or not.
Back in the capital, Michel Bravis smuggles even more refugees out of
the city. But internal forces are working against him. With enemies on
all sides, Michel may be forced to find help with the very occupiers
he's trying to undermine.
Meanwhile, Ben Styke is building his own army. He and his mad lancers
are gathering every able body they can find and searching for an ancient
artifact that may have the power to turn the tides of war in their
favor. But what they find may not be what they're looking for.
