✦ Synopsis

Raised a warrior in the harsh winter country, Ryo inGara has always been willing to die for his family and his tribe. When war erupts against the summer country, the prospect of death in battle seems imminent. But when his warleader leaves Ryo as a sacrifice -- a tuyo -- to die at the hands of their enemies, he faces a fate he never imagined.

Ryo's captor, a lord of the summer country, may be an enemy . . . but far worse enemies are moving, with the current war nothing but the opening moves in a hidden game Ryo barely glimpses, a game in which all his people may be merely pawns. Suddenly Ryo finds his convictions overturned and his loyalties uncertain. Should he support the man who holds him prisoner, the only man who may be able to defeat their greater enemy? And even if he does, can he persuade his people to do the same?

Review

"Wow. I was hooked from the very first sentence and enthralled for the entire book." -- bestselling fantasy author Sharon Shinn

"[T]his book totally lived up to my hopes and dreams: there is an EPIC friendship that flourishes despite EXTREME enmity and culture clash." -- bestselling fantasy author Rosamund Hodge, Goodreads review

"I bought a copy of this for my nephew. I am about to buy copies for every young man I know who's aged between ten and 15, because I think if this sense of honour and integrity and utter respect for women were to be spread widely in our culture, the world would be a very, very different place." -- Manda Scott, AccidentalGods.Life podcast
