Synopsis: Times are hard in the mountain city of Fellsmarch. Reformed thief Han Alister will do almost anything to eke out a living for himself, his mother, and his sister Mari. Ironically, the only thing of value he has is something he cant sell. For as long as Han can remember, hes worn thick silver cuffs engraved with runes. Theyre clearly magicked?as he grows, they grow, and hes never been able to get them off. Hans life gets even harder after he takes a powerful amulet from the son of the High Wizard. The amulet once belonged to the Demon King, the wizard who nearly destroyed the world a millennium ago. With a magical piece so powerful at stake, the Bayars will stop at nothing to reclaim it from Han. Meanwhile, Raisa anaMarianna, Princess Heir of the Fells, has her own battles to fight. Although Raisa will become eligible for marriage after her sixteenth name-day, she isnt looking forward to trading in her common sense for a prince with a big castle and tiny brain. Raisa aspires to be like Hanalea?the legendary warrior queen who killed the Demon King and saved the world. But it seems like her mother has other plans for her?plans that include a suitor who goes against everything the Queendom stands for. The Seven Realms will tremble when the lives of Han and Raisa collide in this stunning new page-turner from best-selling author Cinda Williams Chima.
