A reluctant heir must flee into predator lands. If he cannot claim a legendary weapon meant for kings, his people will be butchered and his world devoured. Asher has spent his life avoiding responsibility. But when tragedy shatters the Rabbethi kingdom and a bloodthirsty horde descends upon his homeland, he discovers there is nowhere left to run. With his people scattered and their future uncertain, Asher must become the one thing he has always feared: king. His only hope to reunite the fractured Rabbethi lies in a relic thought lost to history: The King’s Bow, a divine weapon said to grant its wielder a fragment of godlike power. To find it, Asher must journey far beyond the safety of his homeland. Accompanied by Cara, a cunning agent of the Vulpen Queendom, he travels through hostile territories, navigates dangerous political alliances, and enters lands ruled by ancient enemies. Though instinct and loyalty put them at odds, the two must learn to trust one another if they are to survive. But they are not the only ones seeking the weapon. A powerful high priestess has plans for the Bow, and for Asher’s blood. If she succeeds, she will unleash a darkness far older and more terrible than war itself.
