One kingdom bound by duty. Another ruled by fear. And a woman caught between them.
Talyn Dynan was once the fiercest warrior in the elite Callanan guard—until the mission that shattered her.
Now she's trying to outrun her past as a reluctant member of the Kingshield, tasked with training the royal guards of a foreign kingdom. But Mithranar is no ordinary place. Its people have wings, its court is a viper's nest of politics, and something dangerous stirs in the shadows beneath its glittering halls.
In the middle of it all is the Shadowhawk—a masked rebel who strikes at the powerful and vanishes into myth.
As unrest brews and loyalties blur, Talyn must decide who she's really fighting for... and whether the broken can still protect what matters most.
