Description
He can save her life -- if he sacrifices those he swore to protect.
When outcast soldier Shianan's only friend is trapped on the wrong side of an interdimensional rift in a magical war, she can return home only if he sacrifices the people he's pledged to defend. Worse, Shianan knows the cheery young boy swept away with Ariana is really one of the monstrous enemy, disguised as a human.
State mage Ariana struggles as a prisoner of war in a world of unfamiliar customs and deadly magic. Her only ally is her former servant Tamaryl, once again a renowned warrior caught up in political machinations. To survive, he must renew the fight against Ariana's world.
As their people's wasted armies brace for fresh battle, bastard, mage, and monster must set aside prejudices and rivalries to find an end to centuries of conflict, before they die as traitors.
