A warrior with a chip on his shoulder. A scholar with a broken heart. A villain who's their only hope for peace.
A year ago, their lands were ripped apart by war.
The dust is finally settling. Magician-warrior Nuho Kadza has healed from his battle wounds and is eager to take his rightful place as leader of his people. Unfortunately, that means facing his once-beloved little sister—the new warlord in charge—who betrayed him on the battlefield in an act he can't forgive.
His fellow hero Hoje's scars are less visible, but no less painful. It was his best friend who waged the war that left tens of thousands dead. Hoje salvaged his own honor by holding a sword to his friend's throat. Now he's been permitted to return to his job teaching the next generation of heroes—but only if he remains silent about the past.
Forging a new friendship with each other will be their salvation. Yet there's already a new, vicious enemy threatening the peace for which they've given so much....
And the one who holds the key to his defeat is the same man who betrayed them all.
They want nothing more than to forget.
The gods have other plans.
