The Ikessar Falcon
"For if Yeshin’s sons had not been killed and he had not been compelled to march to civil war, I wouldn’t have been raised the way I was — the bearer of everything, his heir in every way, both sword arm and womb. I would have never been betrothed to Rayyel, never been born."
The spiral to madness begins with a single push.
Abandoned by her people, Queen Talyien's quest takes a turn for the worst as she stumbles upon a plot deeper and more sinister than she could have ever imagined, one that will displace her king and see her son dead. The road to Jin-Sayeng beckons, strewn with a tangled web of deceit and unimaginable horrors that unearth the nation's true troubles — creatures from the dark, mad dragons, and men with hearts hungry for power.
To save her land, Talyien must come face-to-face with the worst enemy of all: Warlord Yeshin's daughter, symbol of peace, warrior and queen, and everything she could never be. For the price for failure is steep, her friends are few, and a nation carved by a murderer can only be destined for war.
