The Noble Dead series has been hailed as “a
crowd-pleasing mix of intrigue, epic fantasy, and horror.”*
Now, national bestselling authors Barb and J.C. Hendee
present the latest thrilling novel following the adventures
of dhampir Magiere and half-elf Leesil…
Barely
escaping the city of Calm Seatt—and the assassins hunting
them—Magiere, Leesil, and the elven dog Chap sail south to
continue their quest to find the powerful Orb of Air before
their enemies do. But they are not alone, much to their
frustration.
The aging elven assassin Brot’an has
forced himself on them by offering his protection. Chap
doesn’t believe this ruse, however, and seeks to uncover the
assassin’s true agenda—as well as the cause of the secret
civil war that has erupted into the open among Brot'an's
people.
Meanwhile, Magiere struggles with her own
dark nature, using Leesil’s love as an anchor to keep her
grounded. For the personal price she paid to procure the Orb
of Fire was more than she thought—and more than she wants to
reveal to anyone.
But that is exactly what the
cunning Brot’an wants to know. And he is willing to do
whatever it takes—even if he must reveal his own dreaded
secrets that may cost the entire party their lives…and their
very souls.
