Perylis Hellswallow is the second-in-command of a dying nation and the chosen champion of a fading god. When she's unexpectedly summoned to the crown city that severed ties with her homeland two decades ago, she reluctantly answers the call. What she finds in Phait, however, is far from what she expected. Instead of fostering peace, Perylis is thrust into a perilous struggle to prevent Phait from becoming just another casualty in a senseless war. As she navigates a world that fears her kind, she uncovers troubling signs that a dark force, long thought to be vanquished, may be stirring once more. Along her journey, Perylis forges unlikely alliances with both gods and mortals, wielding her magick to reshape the destinies of the two nations. But can she prevent the war before it ignites? And why does every thread of this conflict seem to lead back to the mystery of her long-lost mother?
