So General Turyin Mulaghesh, a foul-mouthed war hero exiled to this desolate outpost, is the perfect person to uncover the truth behind the city's fall. As she digs into Voortyashtan's shadowy past, Mulaghesh confronts her own demons and a deadly conspiracy that threatens to consume the entire region. Can she survive long enough to bring the truth to light?
