Lyra Vance rides through a valley scorched by past wars, chasing a rumor that could save or sink a fractured people. On a road lined with ash and flickering light, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to uncover the truth about her sister’s disappearance and the enigmatic power that binds the Landkist. Every encounter—with a distrustful healer, a guard who remembers every betrayal, and a thief who promises safe passage—drags her deeper into a conspiracy that could topple the realm or redeem it, if she can survive the night when the embers flare and the truth is revealed.
