The mad emperor of the Roven Empire has unleashed a horde of invading soldiers to enslave her lands. For months, her warriors have waged a valiant, stealth battle, yet they cannot stop the enemyβs advancement.

Her every move sinks her deeper into court intrigues which bewilder and repel her, leaving her vulnerable not only to enemies gathering at Vishir's gates, but to those behind the palace walls.

For Askia is a witch gifted with magical abilitiesβknowledge that could destroy not only her life but her people. As her adversaries draw closer, Askia is forced to make an impossible choiceβand no matter what she decides, it may not be enough to prevent Seraveshβs fall.
