Step into a captivating world of romance and adventure from the bestselling author of The Shapechanger’s Wife.
“A master of character and story, Sharon Shinn once more weaves her magic in this timeless and timely tale of a young woman coming of age. A wonderful read.”—Mary Jo Putney, author of The Marriage Spell
When eighteen-year-old heiress Averie Winston travels to faraway Chiarrin, she looks forward to the reunion with her father, who is a commanding general; seeing her handsome fiancé, Morgan; and exploring the strange new country. What she finds is entirely different from what she expected. Although the Chiarizzi appear to accept the invading army, rebels have already tried to destroy them; Morgan is not the man she thought he was; and she finds herself falling in love with Lieutenant Ket Du’kai, who himself comes from a conquered society. Can the irresponsible Averie remake herself in this new world?
