Disaris jin Gheza's rare gift for code-breaking means she must flee a conquering army and a fanatical cult, or become their prisoner and pawn. To evade capture, she will cross perilous territories and sorcerous borders, her aim, two-fold: rescue her sister from captivity and stop a zealot from remaking the world through destruction and bloodshed. But she won't be facing danger alone. The battle mage known as the Moon Raven travels by her side. Once Disaris's best friend and lover, Bron is now an uneasy ally with a death bounty on his head for desertion. Bound together by memories and a bond that they both believe broken, the two fugitives must outrun a deadly tracker, save a loved one, and defeat a horde of fanatics - all without dying in the effort. A tale of loyalty and longing.
