Publisher Description
What would you do to win your freedom?
This is the question that sets bondwoman, Martise of Asher, on a dangerous path. In exchange for her freedom, she bargains with her masters, the mage-priests of Conclave, to spy on the renegade sorcerer, Silhara of Neith. The priests want Martise to expose the sorcerer's treachery and turn him over to Conclave justice. A risky endeavor, but one she accepts without hesitation--until she falls in love with her intended target.
Silhara of Neith, Master of Crows, is a desperate man. The god called Corruption invades his mind, seducing him with promises of limitless power if he will help it gain dominion over the world. Silhara struggles against Corruption's influence and searches for ways to destroy the god. When Conclave sends Martise as an apprentice to help him, he knows she's a spy. Now he fights a war on two fronts--against the god who would possess him and the apprentice who would betray him.
Mage and spy search together for a ritual that will annihilate Corruption, but in doing so, they discover secrets about each other that may damn them both. Silhara must decide if his fate, and the fate of nations, is worth the soul of the woman he has come to love, and Martise must choose continued enslavement or freedom at the cost of a man's life. And love.
Customer Reviews
Beautifully written story and a very satisfying, hard fought HEA.
Nobody does fantasy romance quite like Grace Draven.
I love her books, I find her writing so beautiful and lyrical. But most of all, the stories and the world she creates are so original and unique.
I loved everything about this book. The atmospheric setting, the characters that seem so contained and yet have so much feeling hiding inside of them.
Silhara is such an interesting MMC, morally grey, sparing with his loyalty, smart, cunning, powerful, and generally self-serving yet at the end, ready to be a hero to save the woman he loves.
A woman, he finds mousy, plain, and quiet to start with!
But the lot is hiding inside of Martise. She’s been sent to spy on Silhara in exchange for her freedom. But she ends up discovering a unique power within her that she’s willing to sacrifice along with her freedom for her aloof mentor that she ends up falling in love with , the Master of Crows.
Beautifully written story and a very satisfying, hard fought HEA.
