Overview
When a battle to eradicate the Thirteenth Tribe goes awry, the kingdoms bordering the desert metropolis of SharakhaiĀ see the city as weak and ripe for conquest. Ćeda, now leader of the Shieldwives, a band of skilled desertĀ swordswomen, hopes to use the growing chaos to gain freedom for Sehid-Alaz, the ancient, undying king of herĀ people. Freeing him is only the beginning, however. Like all the people of her tribe on that fateful night four centuriesĀ earlier, Sehid-Alaz was cursed, turned into an asir, a twisted, miserable creature beholden to the kings of Sharakhaiāto truly free her king, Ćeda must break the chains that bind him.
Ā
As Sharakhaiās enemies close in and the assault on the city begins, Ćeda works feverishly to unlock the mysteries ofĀ the asirimās curse. But danger lies everywhere. Enemy forces roam the city; the Blade Maidens close in on her; herĀ own father, one of the kings of Sharakhai, wants Ćeda to hang. Worst of all, the gods themselves have begun to takeĀ notice of Ćedaās pursuits.
Ā
When the combined might of Sharakhai and the desert gods corner the survivors of the Thirteenth Tribe in a mountainĀ fastness, the very place that nearly saw their annihilation centuries ago, Ćeda knows the time has come. She wasĀ once an elite warrior in service to the kings of Sharakhai. She has been an assassin in dark places. A weapon poisedĀ to strike from the shadows. A voice from the darkness, striving to free her people.
Ā
No longer.
Now she's going to lead.
The age of the Kings is coming to an end . . .
