In Brigant, Princess Catherine prepares for a political marriage arranged by her brutal and ambitious father, while her true love, Ambrose, faces the executioner's block. In Calidor, downtrodden servant March seeks revenge on the prince who betrayed his people. In Pitoria, feckless Edyon steals cheap baubles for cheaper thrills as he drifts from town to town. And in the barren northern territories, thirteen-year-old Tash is running for her life as she plays bait for the gruff demon hunter Gravell.
As alliances shift and shatter, and old certainties are overturned, our five heroes find their past lives transformed and their futures inextricably linked by the unpredictable tides of magic and war. Who will rise and who will fall? And who will claim the ultimate prize?

I loved this! With a number of characters that give us a GoT vibe, this is definitely up there with some of my favourite fantasy books. I was hesitant to start this—being a fan of the Half Bad series, but I'm so glad I chose to read it. With a sprinkling of LGBT representation on the page, this book had me enthralled, mesmerized and simply bewitched. I can't wait for book two! - Melanie (QBD)
