THE HEART-POUNDING FANTASY FOLLOW-UP TO THE EPIC FIRSTBORN OF THE SUN

In the Kingdom of Oru, L’ore is an exile . . .

Her deadly, icy shadow magic has been discovered. She is a threat - one the Crown will stop at nothing to eliminate.

As L’ore flees the only home she’s ever known, alongside fellow outlaw Remi, the pair are ambushed by a band of Sand Raiders from the western lands. Death seems certain – until Remi reveals a secret of his own.

He is their long lost prince.

Taken together to the Sand Raider Kingdom – Remi to the throne and L’ore in chains – L’ore faces her gravest danger yet. As she awaits her fate, heartbroken, separated from everyone she ever loved – Remi makes her an offer.

A dangerous bargain.

To find the home she longs for, will she trust Remi’s offer or risk it all – alone?
