Her mother died a hero. Avaria Roff inherited the war. At sixteen, she commands an army that believes in her more than she believes in herself. The Eight Families watch her every move. The enemy waits for weakness. They call her the Silver General. They think she is her mother reborn. She knows the truth. She has no idea how to save Lurya. When rising strategist Light Skalder is forced into her inner circle as her personal guard, he expects to protect a legend. Instead, he finds a girl suffocating beneath one. If the council discovers her secret, she will lose more than her title. And if Light fails to help her, Lurya will fall. He was meant to guard her life. Instead, he may have to guard her weakness. Because heroes die. But daughters must decide how the story ends.
