Shortlisted for the Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Newcomer at the Gemmell Awards 2017

Pulled from a frozen sea, pierced by arrows and close to death, Knot has no memory of who he was. But his dreams are dark, filled with violence and unknown faces. Winter, a tiellan woman whose people have long been oppressed by humans, is married to and abandoned by Knot on the same day. In her search for him, she will discover her control of magic, but risk losing herself utterly. And Cinzia, priestess and true believer, returns home to discover her family at the heart of a heretical rebellion. A rebellion that only the Inquisition can crush...

Their fates and those of others will intertwine, in a land where magic and daemons are believed dead, but dark forces still vie for power.
