A country clinging to peace and order after a Cataclysmic War. A tyrant wrenching power from the weak. A rebellion desperately fighting for change. A prisoner struggling to belong. A Key to a Throne. 'Sometimes, they spoke of daemons. Don't trust them, shun them, fear them, for none of those tales ever ended happily.' He'd been warned. Branded a prisoner, escaped from torture, victim of tyranny, Lidan was intrigued by this one, Gwahl, the one who saved him. He joins an uprising, a quest, a voyage across land and sea, marsh and mountain, hunting a key. One to unlock the heart of the country to the blade of rebellion.
