Steady your aim. Head the signs.

When sun grows warm, the cuckoo brings the storm. (folk weather wisdom)

Underneath the Spheres, Springtide to Harvest-tide.Seven months, seven turnings of the moon, and in that time, a rebellion will succeed. Or fail.

Wat is adrift. His father, the remote King Ranulf, ignored him. His brother John stands in as kind of a father to him, but now John is in terrible danger. The others in The Rising help Wat whenever they can, however they can: Avery the prince, his half-brother. Conal, who trains him in the arts of war. Dru, who teaches him the skills of stealth. Above all, Rafe, trapped in the most dangerous position of all, a spy in the enemy’s camp. And then there’s Wat’s violent sister Eris…

Wat has something to prove. People he must decide to trust–or not. A young woman he has promised to find. If he doesn’t know who he really is and what he’s capable of doing, how can he perform these tasks? He’d better hurry up about it. A traitor is working to destroy them all. Wat had better steady his aim. He’d better heed the signs.
