Description: Aeliraneth, the most infamous witch of her era, is no more. And Cyrus, her only son, is determined to leave her memory in the past. Along with B’lantra, his childhood love, Cyrus has found an uneasy peace in a small logging town.
Born with powers she never wanted in a world where witches are tracked down and turned into living weapons, B’lantra has been careful to avoid the dark snares of the Illumentry’s hunters.
But the young lovers soon find that an arch-witch’s plans aren’t so easily cast aside.
The Kaulswyr, the machine that protects the land from the tainted hordes of Asylum, is failing. Left with only hints about his mother’s connection to the ancient device, Cyrus is forced to confront the destiny he left behind. B’lantra learns that she owes her life to a shadowy empress with a frightening grip over her mind and body.
Pursued by zealots, revolutionaries, and a relentless huntress intent on bringing them before her unseen master, Cyrus and B’lantra must survive long enough to unravel Aeliraneth’s tangled legacy.
