When a trusted leader vanishes, loyalty becomes a deadly calling.
The mercenary company known as the Sunhawks thrives under Idra’s command—until she disappears without a trace while returning to her homeland of Rethwellan. Rumors swirl, tensions rise, and the once-stable kingdom shows signs of rot beneath the crown.
Tarma, swordmaster of the Hawk Clan, and Kethry, sorceress and bearer of a sentient sword, don’t wait for orders. Bound by oath and friendship, they ride out to uncover the truth behind Idra’s silence.
What they find is treachery at the highest levels, a plot that threatens war, and an enemy who knows exactly how to exploit their weaknesses. To save their friend and stop a kingdom from crumbling, they’ll have to risk everything.
Who do you trust when the crown itself lies?
