The third novel in the swashbuckling Cities series unveils the little-known region of Vilhon Reach—and the hero who must risk everything to defend it
Preserving the balance of nature is a way of life for half-elf druid Haarn Brightoak, no matter the cost. But even his dedication to the customs of the Silvanus is put to the test when a long-dead evil is freed from his eternal prison and returns to the world of the living.
 
Alongside his new companion, a female mercenary named Druz Talimsir, Haarn enters the greatest fight of his life—one that takes place not just on the battlefield but within himself. As an undead army rises under the newly-liberated Borran Klosk, he must decide if he will compromise his way of life to defend the city that has never welcomed him.
