'Jhared is the leader of the Elaan, a decimated tribe of warriors caught between an invading horde and internal power struggles with the Temple. He refuses to submit to the Blood God’s priests, but because he will no longer risk his tribe in a futile war, he faces exile for himself and the Elaan.

'Anna, a nobleman’s daughter, is trapped into serving the man who killed her parents. Her sisters held hostage, Anna is forced to spy for him. She survives, an exile in her own mind, always seeking a way to return home. Three journeys, one story.'
