He knows little of the real world except its history. But he never expected his research passion to set him against a dangerous and obsessive king.

Hennery Roen has always been fascinated by a fabled lost empire. So he can’t believe his luck when he’s assigned to interview a captive and discovers the man may be one of the last remaining members of the same gifted race of spell casters. But when the man’s friends stage an attack to free him, Hennery finds himself caught in the middle of the fight before taking a crossbow bolt to the chest…

Galen Sumãrren is a hunted man. But running from his tragic past has taken him deep into the heart of enemy territory, where the outlaw healer uses his powerful gifts to save his interviewer’s life. But when he realizes his actions have only made the young scholar a target, he has no choice but to bring him along as they all flee toward the ancient lands of the north.

While Hennery learns swordsmanship and survival skills from his new companions, he begins to worry that his friend’s troubled past could be used against them. And though Galen’s secret may be impossible to escape, he fears the only way to free himself from its burden forever will lead to a fatal confrontation.

Can the young historian and his unexpected companions survive a cruel tyrant’s deadly wrath?
