A betrayal born of revenge. An unlikely alliance. A realm on the brink of civil war.

The fractured tribes of Adakia and the powerful Crown of Boscandia stand on the edge of chaos. With King Uwendo gone, Queen Duanib ascends to power, and shadows stir—an exiled Elderak who seeks retribution, wielding a force capable of annihilating all who stand in his way. Tarwenol Antadak returns with vengeance burning in his veins, bent on crushing those who banished him and seizing control of Boscandia.

Amid the turmoil, Fel'annár and his slowly reforming Company find themselves in a desperate struggle. As hidden enemies conspire, Fel'annár's evolving powers will prove more vital than ever. But secrets run deep in the House of Or'Talán, and the rise of the mysterious Sons of Adakia could tip the balance of power. But who are they? And what role will they play in the future destiny of Adakia?

In this fast-paced sequel to The Silvan, R. K. Lander delivers a sweeping tale of political intrigue, unlikely alliances, and the unrelenting fight for justice.
