Magic Fades. A Prince Battles. An Ancient Enemy Awakens.
It has been over a hundred years since the Night Mother vanished along with her host of Deiran warriors. Now Eldred, heir to the throne, races against time. He must manifest the Bond before he reaches the age of ascension, or he will lose his birthright forever.
When a new threat stirs in the distant north, it offers a treacherous path to honor. He must turn to the Wretcheds—the discarded people of the Night Mother. Can he uncover their secrets before the most powerful creation of the Night Mother takes its due?
