Erika ja Leora is a
powder mage in northern Kez, a place where that particular sorcery is
punishable by death. She is only protected by her family name and her
position as heir to a duchy.
When she decides to help a young
commoner—a powder mage marked for death, fugitive from the law—she puts
her life and family reputation at risk and sets off to deliver her new
ward to the safety of Adro while playing cat and mouse with the king’s
own mage hunters and their captain, Duke Nikslaus.
Occurs 35 years before the events in Promise of Blood.
