Araman

The mysterious Unisayan are not sacred, worshipped or protected... They are hunted.

Despite vowing never to complete her duty as Araman and lure a Unisayan to a Knight’s sword, Raliena uses her healing powers to save the life of Kassen; a General who is to murder a creature Raliena fights to protect.
This act of kindness unwittingly interrupts a dangerous man’s ploy to stop an impending alliance between two tremulous kingdoms, but Raliena is mistaken when she thinks it is the throne he wishes to claim.
A shadowy past rouses a new future for Fardonmeria and with a dusky past of his own, Dergen will use the Rite of the Sinner to gain what is his by force. Using the ancient slavery of an Armon’s sacred power, he will become Master Sinner and not even Raliena’s will can oppose him.
