Thrust onto the throne, Caliph has inherited Stonehold's dirtiest court secrets. He also faces a brewing civil war that he is unprepared to fight. After months alone amid a swirl of gossip and political machinations, the sudden reappearance of his old lover, Sena, is a welcome bit of relief. But Sena has her own legacy to claim: she has been trained from birth by the Shradnae witchocracy—adept in espionage and the art ofmagical equations writ in blood—and she has been sent to spy on the High King.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet there are magics that demand a higher price than blood.
