AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When a scrawny unwanted girl child is sold into slavery, a chain of events is set in motion that will have a profound impact on all the civilised world.

'Hekat is taken into chains to Mijak's largest city, but makes a bargain with the ruthless god and escapes her captors. She joins the warlord's army and becomes the greatest knife-dancer and warrior the city has ever known.'

'But Hekat believes she has another destiny . . . and she will carve that destiny out of infidelity and betrayal . . . and death . . . '. (Source: back cover blurb.)
