'I can command storms, summon fire and unmake stone,' Balfruss growled. 'It's dangerous to meddle with things you don't understand.' Balfruss is a battlemage, sworn to fight and die for a country that fears his kind. Vargus is a common soldier - while mages shoot lightning from the walls of his city, he is down on the front line getting blood on his blade. Talandra is a princess and spymaster, but the war will force her to risk everything, and make the greatest sacrifice of all. Magic and mayhem collide in this explosive epic fantasy from a major new talent.
