A ghost bound by duty. A shaman fleeing his own kind. A wardkeeper who will sacrifice everything.
On Yuletide Eve, Wardkeeper Elara Millwright stands alone at the Cavern of the Well, guardian of an ancient evil that has waited five centuries to poison the world. Tonight, the protective wards begin to fail.
When a wounded goblin shaman staggers from the storm and a patroller dead for centuries rises, Elara must forge an alliance that demands more than she ever imagined giving. With a relentless hunter tracking their every step and dawn still hours away, the only hope for survival lies in remembering traditions long forgotten.
Perfect for readers who love fantasy adventures with unlikely alliances, ancient magic, and heroes who must trust their enemies to survive.
