Love was stolen. Honor was lost. The only thing left is a hero's deadly choice: vengeance or salvation. Honor. It was torn from Azhani's grasp by the sorcerer whose hatred of her family is decades old. Love. Ylera, Azhani's beloved, was murdered, her death no more than one callous act in a chain meant to put a noose around Azhani's neck. Once, not long ago, Azhani had been hopeless, lost, and without any desire for a future, but now, the rimerbeasts have come, and she is needed. Can she put aside her yearning for justice and face this ancient menace as honor demands, or will the bonds of love lost hurl her into a mire of death and revenge?
