Leila Bhat-Bayza, The Liar.

She will do anything to keep the life she left behind in the First City secret.

If it means murder, then murderer she will be.

If it means sacrifice, she is ready to risk it all.

When her old life begins to hum to her, when the infallible drums of war begin to sound in whispers on the fallen streets of the Fourth City, when she begins to feel the tides churning under her feet, she knows something is coming. Something bearing the face of all the people she left behind and all the demons still searching for her on the banks of the Holy River.

She can't let them touch her new family. She can't let them ruin everything.

She will fight to keep everything from changing.

Wraith Bar-Illain, The Spider.

Sold into slavery for trying to save the only family he ever had from suffering the fate of all those who fall to the Brotherhood of Thorns, Wraith Bar-Illain has a bone to pick with the rest of the world.

It has been seven years. Seven years of crawling, seven years of waiting, seven years of torture. Seven years of silence.

And now, with his finger on the beating pulse of the Empire's machinations for warfare in the North, he must play the long game. He must move the pieces on this board, and he must win.

The only other option is death.

He will fight to change everything he has ever known.
