Description

He’s back safe, but they’re waiting to pounce. She fell from a cliff. We’ll not see her again.
Men call him the Slayer, but Gujun’s running out of options. Promised a villa with sea views he wants to retire, but word is the Shen emperor still desires his head. An ambush proves he has to keep moving.
Rask Casparo has one task. Deliver the duke’s daughter, his fiery cousin, Shareze Atario to Ran Genza as his new bride. Should be easy for a man of his talents. But things go wrong fast in this world and a dark spiral of events leads the two renegade Raleenians straight into the path of the most feared man in the east.
Gujun the Slayer.
And who’s that woman creeping about in the dark? And why are corpses turning up wherever she goes? Could it be the Dreamslayer has returned …?
As war breaks out in Cardalan, Rask and his cousin are caught between rival factions, murderous assassins and the brutal Genza with his conniving servant, the sorcerer who’s about to unleash a horror from the past. Rask and Shareze are caught like bugs in a jar. How can they possibly survive?
