A prince marked for death, a princess without a kingdom, and a world at war.
Unlikely travelers band together to accomplish the impossible—bring peace to their kingdom. But traitorous forces are at work, and a treacherous hand is destroying everything they accomplish.
Honor and soul-searching bring the travelers to hidden truth, and when a sacrifice is made, the broken-hearted band of misfits must cleanse the evil from their midst to free their world...or lose everything.

Excerpt
“Easy now.” The wind buffeted Kai’s face as he leaned forward
to put a hand on his winged horse’s shoulder. Battle cries, explosions, and
screams littered the air. Repressing his own urge to bolt, he turned Flecht to
meet the welke riders approaching from Torindan. Regret flooded him. Both he
and his wingabeast would die. Torindan would fall this day, thrusting the
once-united Kindren kingdoms into confusion.
Conquering the high hold of Faeraven would not appease
Freaer’s blood lust. A stronghold could fall and be rebuilt, as Freaer himself
had proven at Pilaer. Ah, but a heart, once silenced, would never beat again.
While the Lof Shraen of Faeraven and the daughter he’d named his heir remained
alive, Freaer would not rest.
Elcon and Mara had been among those who’d escaped with him from Torindan. If he had anything to say in
the matter, they would yet avoid capture. Surviving a clash with two of
Freaer’s finest seemed unlikely, but Kai could delay the assassins.
The giant raptor birds flapped
their ragged wings and snapped the air with pointed beaks in a display of
ferocity. Sunlight gleamed along their rider’s swords, no doubt honed to wicked
sharpness.
Kai’s skin crawled. Garbed in
the red of Freaer’s elite assassins, the welke riders glared at him across the
intervening distance, a space closing with alarming speed.
Kai touched the reins against
his wingabeast’s neck, all it took to tilt Flecht sideways and away. The wind
snatched at Kai’s breath, and he turned his face to breathe. Silver wings
fanned around him and stroked downward. The wingabeast leveled in flight.
Bloodcurdling shrieks rent the
air, the welkes’ hunting cry.
Kai’s heart raced, and he looked back. Both riders were
following, one pulling ahead of the other. Flecht’s course carried them above
the forest that stretched across Elder lands to the sea. He guided Flecht
lower, ready to duck beneath the tree canopy. Tiny, flitling birds darted
through kaba leaves so thick they left no gap. If he tried to break through the
screen of leaves and branches here, Flecht’s feathers would shred. Only one
choice remained.
He drew his sword and turned to meet
the attack. The hiss of flight feathers reached him along with the stench of
the assassin’s sweat. Flecht shuddered but held. Metal grated against metal
with jarring force.
