Nobody is innocent. Every crown is tarnished.
A royal child, believed dead, sets his eyes on regaining his father's stolen throne. A bastard lord, uprising against his tyrant cousin, sheds more blood than he bargained for. A duke's widow, defending her daughter, defies the ambitious lord who'd control them both. And two brothers, divided by ambition, will learn the true meaning of treachery. All of this will come to pass, and the only certainty is that nothing will remain as it once was.
As royal houses rise and fall, empires are reborn and friends become enemies, it becomes clear that much will be demanded of those who follow the path to power.
A major new epic fantasy begins.

The story is a bit jumpy and at times just silly I found that the qulity of the charters was lacking and that there was no thought to some of the story. I am not sure if I will even look out for the next volume which is disappointing as I enjoy Karen Miller's other books and was looking forward to this book. I would only rate it as average :-(
