War has come to the Border. The young and growing Lucian empire faces the ancient and magical lands of the Moghan, and the Borderlands are their chosen battleground.

Fighting his own mixed heritage, denied and denying his birthright, Tornin comes of age making war on his own people.

In the uneasy peace that follows, as he loses all human connection, he becomes something both more and less than human. To survive, Tornin must face two questions: What is a soul in need of redemption? What is the price of salvation?
