Sohng knows only his cell, but his prison lies way beyond the confines of his steel bars. While the Mardern sweep across the lands of Arca, culling every Huido they can find, no man, woman or child is safe. With the kingdom of the light a fading memory, the kings blood is all but lost, and Arca’s fate is sealed. But when a band of rebels releases Sohng into the unseen world, his life, past and present, will forever change their fate.
