A thrilling new fantasy seriesâfull of deadly magic, double crosses, and a dangerous quest in a new worldâfrom 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 Lorayâs new Council, Argrid demands brutal justiceâbut 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 islandâs magic plants and sells them on the black market. But after Argrid accuses raiders of the diplomatâs abduction, Vex becomes a target. An expert navigator, he agrees to help Lu find the Argridianâbut 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 Lorayâs forbidden magic. When Benâs father, the king, gives him the shocking task of reversing Argridâs fear of magic, Ben has to decide if one prince can change a devout countryâor if heâs 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.
