They were the best of friends: Ryland, the son of the king,
is bound by loyalty. Shaye is both a majicar and a Weverton,
both rebellious factions. Fairlie, a fiery metal-smith, is
the iron bond that held them all together. Until
now.
Crosspointe’s greatest advantage at sea is its
ship’s compasses—but the compass makers are dying. Without
them, Crosspointe will fall. To save his country and repel
the coming Jutras invasion, the king orders Ryland to commit
an unforgivable act. And soon Ryland, Shaye, and Fairlie
find themselves at war…with each other.
