Inora has never known silence-not when every unguarded thought crashes against her mind like breaking waves. Mute by birth but gifted with psychic abilities, she has become the Empire's most valuable interrogation tool, unraveling secrets from enemy minds while sacrificing herself.
Trapped within the keep's walls and feared by those she serves, Inora's only anchor is Thornmail-the knight who both protects and imprisons her, whose thoughts remain mercifully closed to her intrusion. But when a moment of curiosity with a starving rat awakens something darker in her abilities, Inora discovers that her power is far more dangerous-and addictive-than anyone realized.
Her desperate escape leads her deep into the keep's frozen dungeons, where a mysterious woman hangs in chains, radiating an unnatural cold and an unbreakable will. But as Inora attempts a rescue that could doom them both, she faces a terrible truth: the very person she trusted most may be the one standing between her and freedom.
