“This is a knockout.”— Publishers Weekly (starred

review)

Hatushaly and his young wife Hava have arrived in the

prosperous trading town of Beran’s Hill to restore and reopen the fire-damaged

Inn of the Three Stars. They are also preparing for the popular midsummer

festival, where their friends Declan and Gwen will be wed.

But Hatu and Hava are not the ordinary loving couple they

appear to be. They are assassins from the mysterious island of Coaltachin, home

to the powerful and lethal Nocusara, the fearsome “Hidden Warriors.” Posing as

innkeepers, they are awaiting instructions from their masters in the Kingdom of

Night.

Hatu conceals an even more dangerous secret. He is the last

remaining member of the legendary Firemanes, the ruling family of Ithrace. Known

as the Kingdom of Flames, Ithrace was one of the five greatest realms of

Tembria, ruled by Hatu’s father, Stervern Langene, until he and his people were

betrayed. His heir, Hatu—then a baby—was hidden among the Nocusara, who raised

him to become a deadly spy.

Hatu works hard to hide his true identity from all who would

seek to use or to destroy him, as fate has other plans for the noble warrior.

Unexpected calamity forces him to make choices he could not have dreamed

awaited him.

A series of horrific events shatters the peace of Beran’s

Hill, bringing death and devastation and unleashing monstrous forces. Once

more, the Greater Realms of Tembria are threatened—and nothing will ever be the

same again.
