Description

Casmadian lives for comfort and celebration—until the Emperor’s Games unveil two women who should not exist. One bears the banner of the Harp. One wears the shadow of the Raven. Their presence stirs a tremor in his soul, as if something ancient has recognized him.

Half a world away, Galan, a dreamer and wanderer, witnesses a falling star and takes it as a divine summons. In the same night, he crosses paths with volatile strangers and a wandering tinker—and is drawn toward a forbidden forest where the Oracle of Elanion, Witch Queen of the Faen, is said to speak fate aloud.

Two gatekeepers. One hidden path. And a prophecy that will not choose gently.
