Three nations are locked in a brutal race for an ancient relic that can control the world’s most powerful warriors. But only one person can wield its true power.
Desa, a warrior faster than lightning and deadlier than any blade, has lived her life bound to the king. Banished after his assassination, she’s free for the first time to pursue the relic herself. But danger lies ahead: a band of northern warriors, led by a man who seems to know her every move, has already crossed forbidden lands in search of it.
As unexpected alliances form, an older threat rises—Desa’s former mentor, a man who trained her only to betray her. If he finds the relic, he will destroy Desa and all who oppose him.
