Exile and the Kingdom
With her master dead
and her oaths foresworn, necromancer and spy Isyllt Iskaldur finds
herself in exile. Hounded by assassins, she seeks asylum in Assar, the
empire she so recently worked to undermine.
Warlords threaten the
empire's fragile peace, and the empress is beset by enemies within the
court. Even worse, darkness stirs in the deep desert. Ancient spirits
long held captive are waking - spirits that can destroy Assar faster
than any army.
Accompanied by an outcast jinn, Isyllt must travel
into the heart of the desert to lay the darkness there to rest once
more. But her sympathies are torn between the captive spirits and the
order of mages sworn to bind them. And whichever choice she makes could
raze the empire to dust.
