New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop transports readers to a “stunningly original”* world of magic and political unrest—where the only chance at peace requires a deadly price....   The Others freed the blood prophets to protect them from exploitation, but their actions had dire consequences. Now the fragile seers are in greater danger than ever before. In desperate need of answers, Simon Wolfgard, a shape-shifter leader among the Others, has no choice but to enlist blood prophet Meg Corbyn’s help, regardless of the risks she faces by aiding him.   Meg knows each slice of her blade tempts death. But Others and humans alike need answers, and her visions may be Simon’s only hope of ending the conflict.   For the shadows of war are deepening across the Atlantik, and the battle is threatening to break right on Meg and Simon’s doorstep....   *Kirkus Reviews
