Across the One Land, lifelong loyalty is repaid with slavery and death. Jilian and Nikolis, the royal twins, have warily claimed King Tomar's throne as their birthright. But even as the two prepare to encounter the elfwitch Alvaria, betrayal stalks the castle.
Within the magician's chamber, the young apprentice Walther Shortdwarf strains to understand his visions of the elfwitch's destruction in the past . . . and in the future.
In the city streets where murder is commonplace, Jilian's mercenary training might keep the princess alive - or it might give a prince the means to kill her.
Outside The Cliffs in the hidden Tower of the Forty-Nine Mages, a captive young woman struggles to control her mother's magical legacy. For amidst the One Land's mightiest humans, she holds a power greater still.
As blizzards take their toll outside the high walls of The Cliffs, Alvaria watches her enemies squander the victory they wrested from her - and advances the assault to seize the kingdom of her own.
