Beholden to the man who purchased his freedom from the Iron Pit, he cannot deny Torrahs this one request—get to know the woman-child named Dehlyn. He also cannot reconcile the gorgeous woman with the stunted, naïve, unnatural workings of her innocent mind. And yet, she’s been placed under his care. On the night he saves her life, Dehlyn transforms, revealing the otherworldly power of the creature she has always been—the creature who, for centuries, no one but Kherron has seen. She asks him to make a vow, to protect her at all costs, and when he can do nothing but submit to such a promise, the world he knows unravels. The immortals are at war. Beings wielding forbidden magic run rampant across Eldynia. Powerful men will stop at nothing to pry the world’s mysteries from Dehlyn’s mind, and all the rules are changing. Kherron’s path lies at the center, but if he’s to protect Dehlyn at all costs, first he must find her. less

The closer Kherron gets to the Amneas coast and the Brotherhood attempting to shatter Dehlyn’s defenses, the more the ageless laws binding the world in ignorance begin to shift. Few beings remain who fully understand the consequences of unlocking such volatile, rampant power amid unstable and long-forgotten magic. Kherron can rely on none of them. He has only one option—stay alive long enough to free Dehlyn... moreThe closer Kherron gets to the Amneas coast and the Brotherhood attempting to shatter Dehlyn’s defenses, the more the ageless laws binding the world in ignorance begin to shift. Few beings remain who fully understand the consequences of unlocking such volatile, rampant power amid unstable and long-forgotten magic. Kherron can rely on none of them. He has only one option—stay alive long enough to free Dehlyn. Pulled by the unbreakable vow he made to the immortal vessel, he treks across Eldynia, aided only by the Sky Metal blade left by the amarach who failed to kill him. But he still hasn’t mastered his ability to commune with inanimate objects, which he now believes may have acted to save his life when, before, he’d assumed they conspired to end it. Kherron must unlock the impossible mysteries of what he can do, or the unchecked forces hunting him will ensure he fails entirely, while everything—and everyone—in his path is destroyed. less
