Publisher's Synopsis
Trist will be the strongest knight of the age... so long as he keeps sending souls to the Faerie King.
Trist's older brother, Percy, was better than him at almost everything - except for swordplay. Percy was their father's heir, and Trist was perfectly content with his future as a Knight of Narvonne, supporting his brother and protecting their family's land.In a single night, a beautiful faerie of the Court of Shadows shatters everything Trist took for granted.
Now an Exarch, Trist must Tithe souls to Auberon, the Faerie King. Trading those souls grants Trist power, and he'll need it. Three Hundred years ago, an ancient evil nearly destroyed humanity in a Cataclysm. Now, that evil is rising again, and Trist will have to confront it if he wants to protect the people he loves.
