Jame is one of the last of the Kencyrath line, born to battle a world-destroying Lord of Darkness and resuscitate
her ancestral heritage. Jameâs youth was spent hard and low in a desert wasteland. Now she has discovered her past and
her heritage as Highbornâand, with it, the power to call souls out of their bodies and slay the occasional god or two
(as well as to resurrect them).
First, though, Jame must survive the politics and dangers of haunted Tentir College, a school for warriors where
sheâs a student. At Tentir, Jame saves a young protĂ©gĂ© from possession by a powerful, evil soul in search of a body, while
combating jealous students who see her as a danger to their ambition for power and want her expelledâand blinded
and dead, in the bargain! To make matters worse, sheâs challenged to a mounted combat duel to decide who is Tentir
âtop gunââa competition she must win to graduate. Itâs trial by fire, as Jame moves closer to a magnificent destiny she
both fearsâand knows she must face.
