ONCE THE HEIR TO AN EMPIRE
NOW JUST A SHADOW
Throne stolen by her traitorous brother, chased to the edge of the world, Sellane has only her beloved sword, a penchant for ruthlessness, and four elite ‘blade dancer’ bodyguards to her name. Where once she lived a life of courtly duels, decadent feasts, and palace intrigue, she now finds herself weathering the dust of a wild frontier populated by pioneers and warlords.
The food has run out, shelter is scarce, her followers are on the verge of mutiny, and she can’t even communicate with the inhabitants of this alien land: the humans. But when she captures Copper, a down-on-his-luck mercenary who happens to speak her language, she seizes a razor-thin opportunity to reverse her fortunes. Her band has the bladecraft, he claims to have the connections, and the frontier will never have enough mercenaries.
But can her new ally be trusted? Can her old allies? Will her dysfunctional troupe tear itself apart before they’ve earned a single coin?
