In the vast, ancient city of Arash-Felloren, darkness stirs. Street thief Pinnatte bears a mysterious mark that promises a terrible destiny. Imorren, the first woman to lead the crystal-working Kyrosdyn, secretly empowers the brutal mercenary Barran while awakening something monstrous from the deep caves—a creature of legend that should have stayed buried.
When Atlon, a travelling Learned Brother, discovers the horrifying truth about how the crystals are being used, he realizes Imorren's ambitions reach far beyond mere political power. Unable to warn his Elders or seek help, he must stand alone against a conspiracy that threatens not just Arash-Felloren, but the world beyond.
A masterful standalone tale of urban intrigue and ancient evil in the world of The Chronicles of Hawklan.
