Blood. Honour. Power. Saeris Fane never asked for power.

Saeris must send someone in her stead - but does falling for Fisher mean that she can trust him? Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived hell, but travelling to another realm with Carrion Swift in tow might just be the death of him. With a mysterious curse crippling Yvelia, leaving his people behind feels like a foolhardy decision, but Fisher made Saeris a promise . . . and it's one he intends to keep.
