Publisher's Synopsis
"You delight me, daughter." On the eve of war, a priestess is left for dead in the ruins of her temple, the life she built reduced to ash. Resorting to a long-buried power, she heads into the desert on a mission of vengeance, one step ahead of invading armies, seeking an estranged ally and a past they thought they'd escaped. A circle closes, a reckoning comes due. In the pit of the desert, beneath the heart of a dead star, something wakes.
