The crown will take everything from him…
Forced to face his past, Oren Trevaine must return to the king’s court and hope his victories as Lord Captain of the Mountain Guard will be enough to cleanse his name. But the Iron Castle isn’t the place he remembers, and its twisted intrigues have turned deadlier than ever.
When tragedy strikes, every whisper is quick to point to Oren. Who else had means and motive to cast the Westmerian crown into murderous chaos?
While the people call for blood and the lords sharpen the executioner’s blade, Oren must find the real betrayer… or his failure will cost more than his honor and life.
It will plunge the kingdom into the darkest war.
