Is she angel or demon, priestess or witch?Īdelais must summon all her courage and all her memories of the old gods’ magic as the noose tightens around her and a thunderous final reckoning approaches. And even disguised as a boy, Adelais draws attention wherever she goes. Nowhere is safe-in city or chateau, on the road or in the wilds. Their pursuers, desperate to possess it, will crush any who stand in their way. The knights carry a secret treasure, precious and powerful enough to shape kingdoms. Her new companions are the last of the Guardians-once a powerful holy order, now ragged fugitives, hunted almost to extinction. She aids an attack to free the prisoner and joins the raiders as they flee into the night. When inquisitors arrive with plans to torture an innocent man, Adelais cannot stand by. Now, she is locked in a convent far from home, forced to kneel to a foreign god. And as blade meets blade, she starts to sing…Īdelais was raised in the far north, learning stories of the old gods and the skill of weaving runes into magic. A young woman with forbidden magic joins their final stand. No retreat.” With twenty enemy swords at their backs and a broken bridge ahead, the last knights of an outlaw order turn to fight.
