Description

The adventure continues in this character-driven epic fantasy series. 

In the northern city-state of Kalandragote, a plot is afoot to kill the Dayborn king and queen.

Gregor Thorn, the king's half brother, resolves to protect the royal family at all costs. Buoyed by a Yubriy leaf prophecy, Gregor believes the musician Silas O' the Songs is the key to keeping the Dayborn king and queen safe. But when tragedy strikes, both Gregor and Silas must decide if they've misinterpreted the prophecy.
