As children, they meet.
Bray and Yarrow have little in common. She's all fire. He's all heart. But the same ancient symbol brands their skin, marking them as members of the Chisanta-a superhuman society of scholars and warriors. Together, they travel far to undergo a brutal initiation trial, and form a bond that neither can forget.
As young adults, they clash.
Years later these friends-turned-rivals reunite, and fond memories won't stop them from crossing swords. She doesn't trust him. He doesn't understand her. But if they don't learn to work together, a troubling string of deaths will remain unsolved. And the fate of their kind could hang in the balance.
" McCarron manages to successfully bridge modern ideals and an ancient world in this coming-of-age tale." -Publishers Weekly
