And he must do it all with only one good hand. But first he must survive cruelty, chains and the bitter waters of the Shattered Sea itself. Prince Yarvi has vowed to regain a throne he never wanted. Will Thorn always be a tool in the hands of the powerful, or can she carve her own path? Is there a place outside of legend for a woman with a blade? But warriors can be weapons, and weapons are made for one purpose.

A failure in her eyes and his own, the voyage is his last chance at redemption. Beside her is Brand, a young warrior who hates to kill. Fate places her life in the hands of the deep-cunning Father Yarvi as he sets out to cross half the world in search of allies against the ruthless High King. But when she kills a boy in the training square she finds herself named a murderer. But when Mother War spreads her iron wings, she may cast the whole Shattered Sea into darkness… Others – like Brand the smith and Koll the wood-carver – would rather stand in the light.

Some – like Thorn Bathu and the sword-bearer Raith – are born to fight, perhaps to die. But now he faces the greatest army since the elves made war on God. The deep-cunning Father Yarvi has walked a long road from crippled slave to king’s minister. But the right words can be as deadly as any blade. ***.Princess Skara has seen all she loved turned to ashes. The copyright page has the number '1' present to confirm the first edition state.
