Veron has nothing—no family, no future, and only his wits to keep him alive on the ruthless streets of Karad. But when a heist goes wrong, leaving him cornered and alone, fate throws him an unlikely lifeline: the last surviving member of the Shadow Knights, a secret order once sworn to protect the realm.
Under brutal training, Veron hones skills he never imagined—stealth, swordplay, and something even more dangerous: purpose. But as an ancient enemy threatens the kingdom from beyond the mountains, Veron must rise faster than he’s ready.
Balancing street survival, deadly training, and the spark of ambition, Veron must decide if he’s willing to sacrifice everything to save a kingdom that never cared if he lived.
For fans of Mistborn, Eragon, and The Ranger’s Apprentice.
