Publisher's summary

To escape her fate, she must join a hated enemy.

The first in a new series from the number one best-selling fantasy world of Underrealm.

Theren has only recently left the Academy for Wizards, in full command of her magical powers. But all the spells in the nine kingdoms cannot save her from the fate she fears.

Theren’s patron, Imara, sees her as a possession - a toy to be paraded before other nobles as a symbol of strength. Theren would do nearly anything to escape such a life.

Her resolve is tested when she is offered a position with the Mystics: warriors who serve the High King and serve her ultimate justice. But Theren has suffered punishment and torture from the Mystics in the past and joins them only with the utmost reluctance.

As war rages across the nation of Underrealm, Theren and her lover, Lilith, must navigate treacherous waters. She will have to make peace with the redcloaks who have harmed her, even as she makes war against the rebels who seek to overthrow the High King.

And deep in the traitorous kingdom of Dulmun, she will discover a plot that could bring everyone she loves to a bloody, violent death....

Begin an epic new adventure in a fantasy world you won’t ever want to leave.

Feeling a little lost?

If, like me, you got on to this because it's "book 1" in a series, then you were fooled too. This is only the first book with Theren as the lead character, in an expansive world that has multiple smaller series of books set in it. The actual "murder at the academy" backstory briefly recapped here happens in one of those others.

I'll update my review as I finish the book, but I felt very confused very quickly because these "book 1" characters clearly had a whole adventure before this story and it seemed kinda important to connecting with them; which really took away from the experience. Small perk, though, the narrator is actually the author for many of those other books.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
