The Blades survived the battle at Quu Harbor, but their fight is far from over. These notorious liars must return to Yusan to complete their mission, only to discover a usurper has claimed the serpent throne. This new ruler may prove more lethal than the god-king they once faced. Armed with three relics of the Dragon Lord, the Blades prepare to confront the combined forces of four realms. Former enemies will join their cause while trusted allies turn against them. The people closest to their hearts will inflict the deepest wounds. As grief transforms the Blades into something cold and merciless, they learn that victory demands sacrificing everything they hold dear in this deadly contest for power.
