Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path -- and leave a trail.
In Book Two, Kingdom of Deceit, Asheva has barely escaped Ayas with his life. Now he must learn to survive on his own and put aside his age-old Black Nation hatred for enemy Red Chromes. As he makes his way to the Red city of Samaris, his convictions about the Red clash with the reality of a land divided in castes. There, the Janis, members of the lowest caste, are left to live in abominable conditions. But turmoil is building, both inside the walls of Samaris and outside where a violent attack takes the Reds by surprise... and nothing in all of the Territories will ever be the same again.
An alternate world where nations are divided on the basis of the color of its inhabitants: Chromes...
A world where everyone wears masks, superstitions abound, and mysterious creatures called the Harlequins exist...
Divided by greed and power, ignorance and fear, the world of Chromes can only be united by the brave and true of heart...
