The battle for Wishapton has been won but for Bellaydin Ap'Lydin, the victory has come with a deeply personal cost. He will need all his courage to survive the trials ahead; the capital awaits him, and he must navigate the treacherous politics of the royal court. The Horned God's minions may have retreated but, as Bellaydin will learn, they do not rest.Meanwhile, Polnygar Ap'Lydin, still on the trail of the fugitive spellweaver Lord Ivellios, finds herself in the mystical desert empire of Qarld. In this unfamiliar place, she must decide who to believe, even as her trust in her own companions is shaken by unexpected revelations. Do the Horned God's followers still hunt her, or are there deeper and more dangerous threats beginning to surface?
Ever since the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of a cult, Bellaydin Ap'Lydin has spent his entire life as the only human in a land of elves. Here, he and his half-sister Polnygar are barely tolerated, especially by the arrogant Spellweaver Lord Ivellios with his dreams of a purified elven kingdom. But after Polnygar stows away on a visiting envoy's ship, and Bellaydin is accused of murder, their whole world changes. Far from home and each other, they form new alliances and face challenges of their own. Assassins and cultists trail the siblings' every step in the name of their ancestor, General Lydin, and a lost artefact, the Tears of the Divine. As friends and family suffer death and misfortune, and the shadowy Horned God manipulates events from afar, the siblings are drawn into the prophecy of the Heir of Lydin. But is Bellaydin or Polnygar the Heir? Or is that a secret they should leave buried?
