A heroic journey to save the Freelanders.

Asyla Tarden has escaped the clutches of King Zytree Altrumont and his henchmen- now, it’s up to her to find Surillion, who saved her people before. As she seeks refuge in the mountains, she is welcomed by Winslow Greenleaf and his family, where her skills are honed and a plan to survive those who hunt her. As her quest moves forward, Tymen endures the mind games of a cruel king. But the sharp wits of Des Kwaln and Etob Sheerbain keep Zytree off balance, while his puppets Banto and Bene wield illusory power. Betrayals and vengeance struggle with hope and courage, as Tymen vows to remain strong. Beautifully balanced between deftly plotted, exciting adventure and deep psychological resonance and emotional truth, this rich and compelling novel will leave you longing for the next installment on The Cantrill.
