Part of The Sin Eater’s Daughter
First published 2017
The Sleeping Prince, Aurek, has locked down both Lormere and Tregellan. His grip on the two kingdoms is total, and the small band of rebels fighting him is scattered, exhausted, and nearly out of options. Twylla is cut off from her allies. Errin is isolated, working with whatever she has left. Neither woman knows if the other is still alive. Aurek is not a ruler who tolerates threats. He has already burned cities, raised the dead, and bent the will of entire populations to keep his throne. He will do all of it again. The rebels know this. They plan anyway. This is the third and final book in the series that began with The Sin Eater's Daughter. Everything that Twylla has lost, every choice she has made since she first stood in a royal court with poison in her skin, comes down to this. The war will end. Someone will win. The question is what either side will have left when it does.
