Perfect for fans of BELGARIAD, Robin Hobb's FARSEER TRILOGY, and the works of Mary Oliver.

At the westernmost end of the trade of silk and sculptures lies the land of Rasidan. On the coronation day of Rasidan’s newest king, where both national pride and political unrest now shape the land in equal measure, an attempt is made on the life of the youngest prince Daryoush. This horror paves the way for an encounter with Zahan, an enigmatic healer who practices the nearly extinct art of magic. Powerful though he is, Zahan holds his gifts in no high esteem: his power lives because a great evil lives within him—an evil which now lives within Daryoush.

The two begin a pilgrimage across Rasidan for the health of the prince, and soon are joined by Houshang, a wartime hero from Rasidan’s disgraced former territory, and Sister Hushti, a priestess seeking refuge from a dangerous cult. As secrets unfold and loyalties stand trial, the four must endure so that the world they hold dear can live to see another day, no matter what or who—earthly or not—stands in their way.
