From the author of Song of Fire and Shadow, a stunning new novel—the startling tale of two rival mages who must put their differences aside to stop a terrible threat and save the world. A world where divine intervention is constant and foreign horrors threatens everyone.\nOnly a handful of mortals know of the companionship of stark-faced dragon scarred god and rider.\nThe tale tells of Kerrec a Rider from a sacred mountain home high atop a source of divinity.\nHe suffers immense grief from losing the man who raised him as he grapples with the responsibilities of life as the keepers of Homeward Stone—a fabulously powerful route through both time and space allowing the greatest travel.\nHis escape involves not just the journey home but the knowledge that someone else knows his deepest secret—one so grave that it almost ended his life.\nAs he journeys deep beneath the Black Mountains he encounters something unexpectedValeria the Imperial Magician.\nShe is loyal, unafraid, and deeply flawed—wounded severely by the black arts she channels—and also most definitely deadly.\nOffered salvation first by lies, then darker and more confusing orders Kerrec takes her in and she carries out flawless dream activations to Frosia, a serene small city on calm seas where the best minds can review and suggest the correct solutions to the puzzle.\nBut never thinking for herself, Valeria lets minimal comments seed the seeds of confusion and mistrust between the pair—an honesty impossible to resist.\nAnd so the two are loosed upon a world that might or might not be the right one for each; a pair ready to give hardship and betrayal a purpose—again believing and hoping—while seeking the very strength of ordered hope that drives the universe on.
