[complete]
wattys 2018 winner ❧
Lin is a hunter, one of the magically enhanced witch slayers that roam a flooded world. Under the laws of four Kings and Greymark, who rules them all, Lin is untouchable. She could massacre thousands and no-one would blink. But she is a pawn among Kings, all of them vying for total dominion of the seas and ready to rip each other apart for it.

When Lin carries out a sentence that leaves her plotting revenge against her superiors, she unwittingly explores the multiple fronts to the coming war. Shabina, a leader determined to overthrow the Kings, and Hadrian, a secretive prince born into a game of shadows are but two of them. One thing is certain: they are all willing to burn the world for what they want.
