Publisher's Synopsis
When you're a renegade in a foreign land, every stranger could be an enemy, every breath could be your last.
Brion is trapped in a hopeless search for his mentor and friend, Redmond, who has disappeared in a kingdom on the brink of civil war. When he falls afoul of the regent, Lady Adelaide, Brion finds himself beyond the bounds of the law, pursued by assassins, and accused of kidnapping the boy-king of Morcia. Now he must pluck Redmond out of a thousand square miles of enemy territory while evading clashing armies and keeping his friends alive. How far will he go to save one friend? How much will he sacrifice?
