For nearly two thousand years, The Dominion, has taught that vultarim are unholy servants of the Nameless; enemies of mankind. Association with one is enough to earn execution. Enora has hidden her secret for fourteen years. Carric was never supposed to exist.
When their secret is exposed, Enora and Carric are forced to flee across a empire ruled by fear, propaganda, and religious paranoia. Pursued by the ruthless Aequitor Prima, Lucan Caedmon, and the agents of the Silentate, they survive only through the help of Avondale, a mysterious swordsman haunted by his past service to The Dominion.
Caught between revolutionaries, fanatics, and the ghosts of an ancient catastrophe, Enora must decide who deserves her trust before the world is consumed by another holy war.
Because the last time mankind tried to control vultarim… the world nearly burned to ash.
