Mari belongs to the Earth Walkers while Nik comes from the Companions. Their clans once fought as enemies, but now they stand together against a common threat. Thaddeus has turned traitor, murdering Nik's father and wiping out their entire clan. His betrayal runs deeper than revenge. He believes Mari possesses power that rightfully belongs to him and his people, and he will destroy anyone who stands between him and reclaiming it. To stop Thaddeus, Mari and Nik must undertake a dangerous journey into hostile territory. Their mission grows more perilous when Dead Eye willingly becomes a vessel for Death, a newly awakened god with his own agenda. Death plans to use every available tool, including the unstable Thaddeus, to achieve his goals. Mari and Nik fight not just for their own survival but for the fate of all their people in this transformed world.
