Official synopsis Publisher
The war is over. The enemy has won. Now it’s time to fight back.
For generations, the people of Jia – a land where magic has long since faded, clinging on in only a few rare individuals – have been protected from the northern Egril hordes by their warrior caste. But their enemy has not been idle. They have rediscovered magic and use it to launch an overwhelming surprise attack.
An invasion has begun.
In moments, the war is over. Resistance is quashed. Kings and city leaders are barricaded in their homes awaiting banishment and execution, the warriors are massacred, and a helpless people submit to the brutality of Egril rule.
Jia’s heroes have failed it. They are all gone. And yet . . . there is still hope. Soon the fate of the kingdom will fall into the hands of a schoolboy terrorist, a crippled Shulka warrior and his wheelchair-bound son, a single mother who would do anything to protect her baby . . . and Tinnstra, disgraced daughter of the Shulka’s greatest leader, who now lies dead by Egril hands.
A brand new epic fantasy: gritty and modern featuring a unique ensemble of characters who will lead a revolution against their overlords.
PERFECT FOR readers of Brent Weeks, Brandon Sanderson, and Peter V. Brett
