KING ANGA IS DEAD. RUNA IS QUEEN.
She is young.
She is untested.
She is vulnerable.

When an alliance of neighbouring kingdoms declares war upon Orka, Runa is ready to fight back.
But she must also face internal dissent, a growing rift with Talorc, and her blood debt to the katra.
Besieged from all sides, Runa is tempted by a magical path that could save Orka…
At the cost of her soul.
