In the City of the Eternal Siege, champions are forged—or destroyed—by gods.
Corthie Holdfast, ripped from his home, is thrust into the ranks of the Blades, warriors dedicated to defending the City against monstrous Greenhides. His survival hinges on a brutal choice: fight or fall at the gods’ hands.
Maddie Jackdaw, a defiant Blade on her last chance, faces an ultimatum. Assigned to the Rats—a doomed company of outcasts—she must face her deepest fear or be cast aside forever.
Her fate leads to an encounter with a hidden, rebellious dragon, chained and waiting beneath the City’s walls.
Can they stand against the gods and monsters alike, or will the City of the Eternal Siege claim them both?
