Ceda, the heroine of the widely praised Twelve Kings in
Sharakhai, is the youngest pit fighter in the history of
the great desert city of Sharakhai. In this prequel, she
has already made her name in the arena as the fearsome,
undefeated White Wolf; none but her closest friends and
allies know her true identity. But this all changes when
she crosses the path of Rümayesh, an ehrekh, a sadistic
ancient creature forged by the god of chaos. Ehrekhs are
usually desert dwellers, but this one lurks in the dark
corners of Sharakhai, toying with and preying on humans.
Rümayesh seeks to unmask the White Wolf and claim Çeda for
her own, in a struggle that becomes a battle for Çeda’s
very soul.
