"War has come to Torwyn. Sanctan Egelrath has an iron grip on the realm. With his enemies scattered to the wind, all that's left is to resurrect an ancient dragon and prove himself a god. Rosomon Hawkspur's friends are few and her victories on the battlefield fewer, but she will not be told that she is defeated. Until the moment she stops drawing breath, she will fight for the Guilds and her family. The heirs to the Hawkspur name, Conall, Fulren, and Tyreta are ready to fight alongside her. But they are much changed, and their path to victory is not at all the same as their mother's. And all the while, unlikely allies wait in the wings. Old enemies offer a dark bargain. The Hawkspurs must decide: is winning the war worth the ruinous cost demanded?"-- Provided by publisher.
