First published 2018
Crown Princess Órlaith rules over Montival, the kingdom built from the ruins of the western United States. The Change destroyed advanced technology decades ago and opened doorways for dark powers to return. Now these forces threaten the peace her father established. The Yellow Raja has captured her brother Prince John, spreading a dangerous madness across the land. Órlaith draws her sword alongside her ally, Japanese Empress Reiko, to rescue John and stop this growing threat. But a greater danger emerges from the east. Mongolian warriors calling themselves the Sky-Blue Wolves ride under the ancient banner of Genghis Khan. Their horses thunder across the transformed world as they build a new empire. Órlaith must defend her people against enemies both mystical and military while the fate of two generations of rebuilding hangs in the balance.
