As the land of Navronne sinks deeper into civil war and
perilous winter, everyone wants to get their hands on the
rebellious sorcerer Valen-a murderous priestess, a prince
who steals dead men's eyes, and even the Danae guardians,
whose magic nurtures the earth and whose attention could
prove the most costly of all. Addicted to an enchantment
that turns pain into pleasure-and bound by oaths he refuses
to abandon-Valen risks body and soul to rescue one child,
seek justice for another, and bring the dying land its
rightful king.
