As part of a sect called the
Strages, Marcella is ordered to execute fierce assaults on
the Logia—gifted believers in the triune deity known as the
Crown. After receiving a vision, she begins to question her
allegiance and finds herself seeking counsel from a leader
in the Logia faith, whom she was sent to annihilate.
When her mentor, Thaed, uncovers her betrayal, he orders her
to do the unthinkable—kill the Logia leader who has become
her friend. Her choice will result in either the destruction
of the Logia or her own death. The series of Strages attacks
call the Logia to prepare for a major battle. In doing so,
Gaultier Lassiter is enlisted. When he discovers an
unconscious young woman buried in a snowdrift, his world is
turned upside down. She has no memory and no ability to
speak—only a strange symbol carved into her chest. The
question of her identity leads to a journey of legendary
proportions.
Between his own personal struggles with his estranged
brother, his unmet potential, and the murder of a close
friend, Gaultier fights to cling to his faith. And once the
mystery is solved, will Gaultier be prepared to face the truth?
