_______________
Rediscover the worlds of Emberfall and Syhl Shallow in this irresistible return to Brigid Kemmerer's New York Times bestselling Cursebreakers series.
_______________
Tycho of Rillisk has been a lot of things: son and brother, stablehand, prisoner, soldier and friend to the king. Now, four years after Grey took the throne of Emberfall, Tycho has taken on a new role: courier and spy. As the only person the king can trust, Tycho carries secret messages back and forth between the kingdoms of Emberfall and Syhl Shallow.
But even though the war is over, peace still seems far away. A dangerous anti-magical faction is rising, and when Tycho discovers a plot to assassinate Grey and Queen Lia Mara, ruler of Syhl Shallow, he must fight for everything he believes in.
Nothing here is as it seems, and after a devastating betrayal, it becomes clear that the danger is only just beginning …
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Set after Kemmerer's Cursebreaker books, this captivating series launch finds enemy realms Syhl Shallow and Emberfell united by the marriage of Syhl Shallow's queen to Emberfell's magesmith king. Though magic is now legal in Syhl Shallow, many citizens still distrust it—particularly rebel Truthbringers, who are planning regicide to restore the status quo. In the remote Syhl Shallow town of Briarlock, teenage friends Jax and Callyn have little time for such concerns; blacksmith Jax, who lost his foot in an accident, works endlessly to pay his abusive, alcohol-reliant father's debts, and baker Callyn, whose parents were killed by magic, minds her younger sister while trying to keep the family business afloat. When Truthbringers Lady Karyl and Lord Alek offer the teens money to pass sealed messages among their cohort, they accept, figuring the reward outweighs the risk. Then the King's Courier, 19-year-old Tycho, comes to town, searching for traitors. While Kemmerer's latest boasts propulsive, intricate plotting and intimate first-person-present narration by protagonists Jax, Callyn, and Tycho (all of whom cue as white), it's Jax and Tycho's gentle budding romance amid their respective past traumas that truly distinguishes this tale. Characters of varying abilities are featured throughout. Ages 13–up.
