Leif is trapped within the Bloodsword he had once claimed as his own, and Fryn's only hope of freeing him lies in teaming up with a cold-hearted villain. Havrshyk has commandeered Leif's body in a desperate race against time to reclaim his own. To make matters worse, they are being hunted by the agents of the Commission who have turned against the Crown, as well as a Wingbreaker from distant lands whose void powers cannot be countered by any of their skills or weapons.
Then there's Grifton, the Bonecrafter, twisted by his insatiable desire for revenge and an unholy power that consumes him, vowed to pursue them to the death.
Change and chaos are in the winds, rebels rise, thrones fall, and the ancient Cherim stir within the Forest.
Together, Leif and Fryn have always found a way...
but this time, that will not be enough.
