Synopsis
Alwyn Scribe has left his outlaw past behind to serve as spymaster and protector to Lady Evadine Courlain, whose visions of a coming apocalypse have won her a growing, devoted following that both the Crown and the religious Covenant hope to control. Sent to help put down rebellion in the Duchy of Alundia, Alwyn is forced back on the ruthless skills of his old life. Amid deadly feuds and long-buried secrets, a war unfolds whose outcome may determine whether the kingdom can survive the prophesied Second Scourge.
