Book description
The machinations of King Celimus have robbed Wyl Thirsk of almost
everyone he held dear, and those few who have survived will bear the
scars forever. Myrren's gift offers Wyl the opportunity to strike back,
but at what price? His best friend is murdered, mercenaries pillage the
land in the name of his beloved Legion, and now the mad king threatens
the two women who are more precious to him than life itself. He cannot
save both. The old seer's advice comes back to him: find the Manwitch.
Only Myrren's natural father can help break the hold of the Quickening.
But Wyl's heart pleads otherwise: protect your loved ones. Once again,
it seems, Wyl Thirsk faces an impossible choice. The path ahead
diverges. Left and right. Head and heart. Blood and memory. A misstep
here could cost him everything … Fiona McIntosh was born in Brighton,
and has lived in England, Ghana and France. She currently resides in
Adelaide, South Australia, with her husband and two sons.
