Summary
Kesten Garess was once a noble son of Brevoy, now he is a man without a house, bound by duty to a baroness he should not desire. She is an oracle of flame, a young scion of House Orlovsky trying to forge a kingdom from scraps of land and uncertain alliances. He hides what he has lost behind a soldier's silence. She hides her secrets beneath silk gloves and prayers whispered to the flames.
It does not take them long to find each other in bed. It will take them years to know what they are. He is her guard, her shield, and eventually whatever else she asks him to be.
In the shadow of the same court, another bond slowly takes root: Teras, an oracle whose memory is a darkness even he cannot enter, finds an unexpected light in Tristian, a cleric of Sarenrae.As the young kingdom searches for its identity, so do its people — among curses, monsters and betrayals, fighting inner voices that command terrible things and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Some loves survive the fire. Others become its kindling.
