The White Raven prophecy should have been over. Kies Tor should have been safe.
When a devastating drought sweeps across the land, Talin learns the bitter truth. She had misunderstood the prophecy from the beginning-and destiny will not be so easily spurned. Her lands and her people are once again under threat. This time, they face a danger far more insidious than all that has come before.
In a desperate final bid to rewrite Fate itself, Talin and Red Wolf set forth on a search for answers at the very edges of the known world. But while they grapple with new truths and old wounds, the queen's political adversaries seize the opportunity to undermine her rule.
Talin is no stranger to sacrifice. However, with treachery at their backs, dark forces on the move, and a prophecy racing to its grim conclusion, this final salvation carries a heavy cost-perhaps heavier than she can bear to lose.
