Escape was only the beginning....

Breaker sacrificed everything - his home, his hand, even his relationship with his little brother - for the chance to escape Scarlatti's war and find peace in their ancestral home. But time is running out. Supplies are low, Brody hasn't recovered from his concussion, and Breaker's right to lead is looking rather grim.

When a stranger arrives, Breaker realizes the world outside Scarlatti is so much bigger than even he could ever dream. Torn between the home he knows and the new home he wants, he will have to ask himself what else he's willing to sacrifice. With old friends, two new points of view, and more secrets to unbury, binge the next book in the series Kirkus Reviewshas called "a propulsive, sharply crafted tale".
