Plague has ravaged the prestigious King's Cavalla of Gernia,
decimating the ranks of both cadets and instructors. Yet
Nevare Burvelle has made an astonishingly robust recovery,
defeating his sworn nemesis while in the throes of the
disease and freeing himself—he believes—from the Speck magic
that infected him. And now he is journeying home to
Widevale, anticipating a tender reunion with his beautiful
fiancée, Carsina, and a bright future as a commissioned
officer.
But there is no haven in the bosom of his
kinfolk, for his nights are haunted by grim visions of
treachery—and his days are tormented by a strange
side-effect of the plague that shames his family and
repulses the lady of his heart. And as the still-potent
magic in his blood roars to life, Nevare realizes a terrible
truth: that the enemy who seeks to destroy everything he
loves dwells perhaps not without but within him.
