In the dying Ember Kingdom, famine festers, and the immortal Witch-King drains the land to feed his cursed existence. Now Daleth sets his sights on the Freestates—and war is coming.
Caught in the rising tide are three unlikely heroes: Maya, a healer unknowingly tethered to ancient power; a conscript who hears thoughts not meant for him; and a grief-stricken farmer hiding a brutal truth—he harvests souls.
Each carries a gift and a past they can’t outrun. Together, they might stand a chance. Apart, they’ll be swallowed whole.
As the Witch-King’s armies march, outcasts must become champions, secrets must become weapons, and survival will demand the impossible.
The Witch-King cannot die. But then again, fate’s never met a rebellion like this.
