About the Book
A young spiritwalker discovers a new world in the middle of a vicious war, from award-winning author Karin Lowachee.
At the edge of the known world, an ancient nomadic tribe faces a new enemy – an Empire fueled by technology and war.
A
young spiritwalker of the Aniw and a captain in the Ciracusan army find
themselves unexpectedly thrown together. The Aniw girl, taken prisoner
from her people, must teach the reluctant soldier a forbidden talent –
one that may turn the tide of the war and will surely forever brand him
an outcast.
From the rippling curtains of light in an Arctic
sky, to the gaslit cobbled streets of the city, war is coming to the
frozen north. Two people have a choice that will decide the fates of
nations – and may cast them into a darkness that threatens to bring
destruction to both their peoples.
“Lowachee brings her characters to vivid life, and their struggles are compelling.” – Tim Powers, author of The Anubis Gates and Last Call
