In the war-torn lands of Ardna and Rassai, brother fights brother, kings choke queens, and poisoned crowns are leaving peace to the ravens. An evil older than the Gods is returning and, with the rise of this faceless shadow, heroes cast in blood and smoke must stake their claims to the future of the Realms of Men. When a young noble girl is betrothed to a cruel bed-ridden prince, her fate is sealed in steel. As visions of an ice dragon and the Last Raven plague her every waking moment, Saera Greyscar finds herself entrapped in a world of terrible secrets and lost magic. Her father, Lord Oronard, a dour lord and a shamed king, must make the most dreadful choice to help a desperate friend. It is an offer that could potentially save his family forever or take everything he loves and rip it apart before his very own eyes. Oronard is uncertain in what fulfilling this proposal could hold for the last of his broken family, but he is certain that there will be blood. In southern Rassai, Wynona Myruin is discovering the weight of her heritage and is on a path to destruction as she seeks her mother's murderer. She will stop at nothing-and risk everything-to see that justice is served. The realm of men is rapidly shrinking beneath their feet, plot breeds liars and brother fights against brother as the shadows ride to steal the dawn.
