Publisher's Synopsis
A ranger's duty. The rotten heart of a king. Rebellion spilled from the blood of family.
In Book 4 of the King's Ranger series, Rew and his companions find themselves transported across the kingdom and flung into the teeth of waiting danger. There's no time to rest as they go from one deadly circumstance to another. It's a trap, but are they the trap's bait or its jaws?
As the companions continue their quest against the king and the princes of Vaeldon, they discover they're the masters of horrific power. Their strength rivals that of the greatest swordsmen and spellcasters in the kingdom's history, but when they use that strength, the cost is weighed in lives.
The price of victory is high, and Rew and his friends carry the burden of that sorrow. Are the spoils of victory worth the tragic loss it takes to achieve them? Can Rew and his companions justify their crusade against the Mordens when the line separating them grows ever thin?
