The kingdom of Cansere is on the brink of war. Young men are conscripted from their homes, and a royal decree from the queen has made healing the only legal form of craftlock.

Sataou wasn't chasing glory. He had a sharp mind, a relaxed spirit, and a place in the Shengu Sect—earned more through quiet dedication than burning ambition. His cultivation was anything but simple: his Void affinity demanded emotional control, even as the world around him refused to let him remain whole. And when that balance is broken, what remains loses what makes it human. The Void is endless. The Void is absence. The Void is all. The Void does not forgive.

Purity is a prison. Perfection is a lie. Mira was six years old when the priests carved the glowing amber lines of her god into her skin. She was told they were a blessing—a mark of the Chosen—and for nine years, she was hailed as the Golden Child of Tuvakora, the perfect daughter of a gleaming theocracy. But when the leaders of her world claim her as a bride, the illusion shatters. Guided by heresy and servitude, Mira uncovers the truth beneath her holy markings. She is not a leader; she is a vessel. Her "blessings" are designed to siphon her hopes for the good of the nation.

Despite his youth, Declan Idrys knows of the evils of the world. He knows of the bastards and brigands who plague the King's lands, of the monsters skulking in the wooded depths of the realm. Together with his companion, Ryn—a beast of rather peculiar talent—he has spent the last decade of his life beneath the bloody banners of a half-dozen mercenary guilds, hunting precisely such festering wickedness within the borders of Viridian.

No matter how Declan Idrys looks at his situation, he comes to the same conclusion every time: He is about to die at the hands of the first dark elf seen in 700 years. Fate, fortunately, is not so cruel, though, and after barely surviving this initial encounter with the er’endehn of Eserysh, Declan and his friends find themselves in a tentative truce with the war-loving elves. They share a common enemy, after all, and their mutual hate for the Endless Queen and her growing legions is enough for the two groups to set aside their mistrust for one another, if only for now.

As all seems lost, a familiar face from Daine's past emerges. But whose side is the Stonehand on? Time will tell, though it may be too late already.

Yet another village full of complaints. Daine listened, delivered all the justice she had power to give, and prepared to move on. All in a day's work for a Knight of the Road. Of course, some disliked her intrusion into their schemes, but they were of little concern. They had tried to stop her before and would doubtless try again. Things change when Daine is charged with the protection of a simple stable boy. Shadows gather around those like Daine who seek to bring light, and their eyes are fixed on the boy.
