Synopsis

Pyrre Lakatur, an apprentice priestess devoted to the God of Death, must complete a final trial to become fully ordained: she has fourteen days to kill seven people named in an ancient song, including someone she genuinely loves, a task complicated by the fact that she has never actually been in love. Returning early to her violent hometown, she sets out to find a romantic connection with the private intention of ending it.

Where it sits

• Universe: Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne
• Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
• Author: Brian Staveley

Notes

• A prequel following the assassin Pyrre Lakatur, set before the main trilogy; a companion story rather than part of the trilogy's own three-book narrative.
