Effy Heartham has blood on her hands.
With the tarnished raiders driven back, Effy wrestles with guilt at the lives she took. Seeking clarity, she journeys to the cold rainforest of Reth, to learn the way of peace from the secretive Goni. And she goes hunting stronger venom.
Captured by the enemy, Kite languishes in a cage. He is weak, hungry, and alone—but he has not given up. A fire burns within him, and it grows stronger each day. He vows to break free of his cage, and when he does, the tarnished raiders will learn they have invited a viper into their nest.
Two outcasts, separated by hundreds of miles of ocean, both with the same goals—Ferth must remain a free county. The tarnished raiders must be defeated.
