Publisher's Synopsis
Aisling Trilogy: Book OneAs he pursues a man who is not what he seems, Constable Dallin Brayden learns the lines between enemy and ally, truth and deception, and conscience and obedience are not only blurred, but malleable. Constable Dallin Brayden knows who he is, what he's about, and he doesn't believe in Fate. "Wilfred Calder" has no idea who he is or what he's about, and he's been running from Fate for as long as he can remember. When Wil flees after witnessing a murder, it's Dallin's job to pursue him. Along the way, he's pulled into a maelstrom of ancient myth, fanatical religion, and the delicate politics of a shaky truce between two perpetually warring countries—all of which rests on the slender shoulders of the man he knows is not Wilfred Calder. Even Dallin's success proves a hollow victory. Wil is vengeful, rebellious, and lethal, and his tale of magic and betrayal rocks the carefully constructed foundations of Dallin's world. Suspicious and only half believing, Dallin must question not only his own integrity and his half-forgotten past, but the morality and motives of everyone around him—including those who hold his own country's fate in their hands.
