"Recommended read for any dark fantasy reader!" - Amazon Reviewer

A bad trip off fairy ichor, or one too many drinks? Whatever the means, Irya doesn't remember traveling to Ashuk, and this is no time for a country frolic. The Northern War rages, winter brews strong, and rumors of monsters haunt Allacia.

Irya's chance for a safe trip home arrives through an untimely reunion with Shen, a man of shadowy origins who remains one of the only people she trusts, and Lerran, a millworker who appears to be his hapless lackey.

The three head north, toward a place where legends are claimed and lives are restored. But something's chasing Shen, and when every secret is revealed and every motivation laid bare, it becomes clear that it's nigh impossible to ever let bygones stay bygones.
