When you are the child of a human and a fiend – a “fiendblood” – there are things that some people are going to expect of you.
When you’ve been raised by a church dedicated to the saint of protectors, there are many things people will expect from you.
Meliantha Karpaidi is going to need to figure out for herself whose expectations she wants to live up to – and whose she’s going to defy.
The choices she makes – and what they lead to – will lead her into a life of danger, facing dangerous enemies, saving lives, and maybe, just maybe, finding love.
That’s assuming that the enemies she knows nothing about don’t kill or corrupt her first for their own enigmatic plans.
This book is set in the same world as The Ballad of the Grey Swan but reading that book is not necessary to enjoy this one. There are a few small callbacks you might miss if you haven’t read Ballad.
