From Flames & Ashes

The moment my brother appeared on my doorstep, I knew fate had finally come to collect its debt. I may have clawed my way out of the gutters—no longer the starving pickpocket who stole to survive—but danger has never loosened its grip on me. Not while the madman who hunted me as a child still haunts my shadow.
And now the kingdom I once called home, the realm I was forced to abandon, stands on the edge of annihilation. Ancient powers are stirring, alliances are questioned, and every path leads back to the truth I've spent my whole life running from. As cruel luck would have it, I am Uriselas's final hope. 

But tell me, how can a mistake, a weapon carved from blood and buried truths, be expected to save anyone.
