Summary
From New York Times bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima,
this is a thrilling story of the unfathomable costs of war, the
allure of dark magic, and two principled and conflicted
characters drawn together despite everything they stand to
lose. Alyssa ana'Raisa, the reluctant princess heir to the Gray
Wolf throne of the Fells, feels more comfortable striking with
a sword than maneuvering at court. After a brush with death,
Lyss goes on the offensive, meaning to end the war that has
raged her whole life. If her gamble doesn't pay off, she could
lose her queendom before she even ascends to the throne. Across
enemy lines in Arden, young rising star Captain Halston Matelon
is being sent on ever more dangerous assignments. Between the
terrifying rumors of witches and wolfish warriors to the north
and his cruel king at home, Hal is caught in an impossible game
of life and death. Lyss and Hal's intricately linked fates become inseparable
when they fall under the shadow...
