Summary

Ulther, year 194 after the Scourge 


The Old Gods are dead, according to the Meager One’s prophets. The dead pyres, always lit during the years of the plague, are little more than a bitter memory. A new era dawns in Boreal, marked by thunder weapons and warships. The nations of tomorrow, proud, and fierce, are being forged; and among them, unstoppable, a common enemy rise: the Taibnian Empire.
The city of Mur’ubi is now the strategic location that conditions the sea dominion of the known world. When a brutal murder leads the House Mur Asyb to retake an old blood feud, four men will dive into the shadows to face ghosts of their own: Naud, a young assassin in the cult of the Goddess Mahyarat, will shudder upon discovering a past that contradicts that which he thinks he knows. Zaiel Mevnoras, Armada veteran turned Seneschal, will feel on his shoulder the weight of responsibilities he never thought to undertake. Nezaj, patriarch of the Mur Asyb, will fight to keep his lineage’s influence sunk into rage and resentment. And it is precisely there, in the shadows, where Faruh lives, an old soldier caught up in an old promise, whose blind eyes have damned him to make do in the streets.

    Zoe thought all the questions surrounding her ex’s mysterious past had been answered. She couldn’t have been more wrong. 
      
    Free-spirited Zoe lives an unconventional life. She tried the nine-to-five office routine, but it was like the death of a thousand cuts—paper cuts, that is. She vowed to make a living outside a cubicle. Now she’s a “Jill of All Trades,” taking on freelance copy-editing, property management, and even dog walking gigs. Sure, it’s a little insecure, but Zoe isn’t exactly what you’d call cautious. 
    Normally, she loves surprises and the unknown, except when it comes in the form of mysterious packages, visits from the FBI, and thugs showing up on her jogging route. Zoe isn’t sure who she’s more afraid of, the FBI or the thugs, so she makes a snap decision and skips town to follow the clues in the package, which takes her to London, where she suspects she’ll find her ex, Jack. 
    The authorities think he’s dead, but Zoe doesn’t agree. Can she find her elusive ex? And what about her new tenet with the shy smile and sexy stubble? Why does he keep popping up in her life? Zoe will have to use her rather eccentric skill set to answer those questions, all the while dodging someone who wants to make this trip abroad her last.
