In a nation built on violence, war returns with old grievances. As enemies from across the ocean attack and the last of the royal family begins her quest towards salvation, a group of orphans, heirs, and outcasts are forced into choices that will shape the future of the continent. Centuries after Randolph Bezier I’s betrayal of nonhumans sparked a vendetta against his family, two nonhuman brothers seek to finalize their erasure of his bloodline. Little do they know, their vendetta is but a  piece of larger machinations at play. An ancient entity moves in shadow, feeding on the rage of the downtrodden, offering justice and power to those who have known nothing but suffering. While these superhuman powers operate behind the scenes, the last Bezier brushes destinies with unlikely actors and allies – a pair of star-crossed orphans, a boy with mysterious origins, and an unusual woman in a disappearing cottage. As secret plots unfold and leaderless countrymen turn on one another, lovers fight, families break, and ordinary people must decide how far they are willing to go for those they love most.
