Synopsis

A new religion is rising, gathering followers drawn by rumors of prophetess Jane Oden. Her sister Cinzia, one-time Cantic priestess, is by her side, but fears that Jane will lead them to ruin. For both the Church and the Nazaniin assassins are still on their trail, and much worse may come. Knot, his true nature now revealed, if not truly understood, is haunted by the memories of others, and is not the ally he once was. Astrid travels to Tinska to find answers for her friend, but the child-like vampire has old enemies who have been waiting for her return. And beyond the Blood Gate in the northern empire of Roden, a tiellan woman finds herself with a new protector. One who wants to use her extraordinary abilities for his own ends...

About this title

Review:

"Following the dramatic events of Duskfall, Husberg settles in for granular worldbuilding...The story has some of the action, horror, and revelations of the first volume, but this is a book of politics first: religion versus government, traditional female power versus traditional male power, and the wild cards that skew a chess match not designed for them." - Publishers Weekly

"This is dark fantasy of the highest order, telling an expansive story across a truly epic canvas." - Barnes & Noble SFF blog

"These books are perfect for the dedicated fantasy reader. But the spot-on world building and relatable characters could also gain the interest of more casual fantasy readers." - Booklist
