Fantasy | Women's Fiction

He divides. She dares to unite.

Marked for death, Azgard outcast Helen Andros takes refuge with the kin of her beloved. But another family conflict forces her to flee again, lest she be exposed once more and slain by murdering warrior-monks of the mighty Temple of Kronos. 

Alone in her new hideout, she takes in the starving children of the sin-eater and becomes his friend, too. The otherworldly Mist-Weaver mentor teaches both of them how to wield mysterious kura for self-defense.

All the while, the demonic Stoneslayer plots more pain for Helen and her family. 

Helen calls on her new skills when armed mercenaries arrive to kidnap her. In one overwhelming day, Helen loses more family and friends and now faces powerful enemies on her own. 

Love and Loss. New friends and old foes. Helen’s hidden mastery awakens in this captivating fourth book in the Stoneslayer dark high fantasy series.
