I am Valshara, the black stone born of fire. Break me, and my edges turn into knives.

Condemned to a slave camp for her crimes, goblin convict Valshara Sh'a makes a death-defying escape to freedom. But navigating Vindor's treacherous cavern system is only the beginning of her troubles. An encounter with a rogue king turns her world upside down, and a bargain with fairy tricksters leaves her with a human child she doesn't know how to care for.

As she tries to smuggle the boy through the walls of a barricaded city, Valshara can't let down her guard. Because somewhere in the darkness behind her, a bounty hunter rises-relentless as nightfall and merciless as death itself.

Emily Golus re-imagines Victor Hugo's beloved Les Miserables as an epic fantasy adventure about suffering, redemption, and the extraordinary power of love.
