Duncan Lay's action-packed epic continues with more action, romance and adventure. Cast out from his homeland, Sendatsu has used his sword-fighting talents to survive in the foreign land of the Vales. With the assistance of Rhiannon - the first human to use magic in hundreds of years - Sendatsu has helped Huw and the Velsh defeat an invading army. Better still, Sendatsu now has the key to reclaim his children. It will mean a return to Dokuzen - a city where deceit runs deep and Sendatsu expects an unwelcome reception. How will Sendatsu and his unlikely allies, Huw and Rhiannon, know who to trust when they can barely trust each other? And when Dokuzen comes under fierce attack, Sendatsu's fight to survive will need to be more desperate than ever. Especially when this attack reveals who the real enemy is...
