The Wayward Heir

Hunted from the mountains to the marshes, Ahsan only wants two things before he's killed: a chance to spread the horrifying truth he's learned—and to be with the faithless priestess who's stolen his heart.
 

After fleeing Sippar, Ahsan-Sin and Nirah have lost their freedom, their home, and their status. Now under their enemy's thumb, they travel to await judgement from the Rihut Elders—if the king's pursuing forces don't kill them all first.
 

Reeling from what he saw in Sippar, Ahsan journeys through the land's bustling cities with Nirah and their captors, dodging the king's forces and rogue monsters at every turn. With Nirah his only comfort—and his greatest source of worry—Ahsan is determined to keep her from paying the price for his sins while salvaging what he can of their future together. Harder to reckon with, though, is the ghost now haunting their steps.

In these contested lands, there is darker magic at work than mere prophecies and power-plays. But the truth about the king, the realm, and even Ahsan himself may spell his ruin.
