A LAND DIVIDED. A HISTORY INKED IN BLOOD. ONE SORCERESS'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS.

The world beyond the City of the Wise is fraught with danger. But Fola, a talented sorceress who has left the safety of its walls, is unconcerned. She's on the hunt for magical remnants left behind by the First Folk - ancient beings who are but the whisper of a memory. Only by finding them might she uncover the secret to their power and a way to pull the riven lands out of the darkness.

Danger lies ahead for Fola, however she feels about it. And when events conspire to drag her into a cursed kingdom to investigate the death of its king, she's soon faced by threats from both the living and the dead.

Fola will need to rely on her wits, her magic and her unlikely friends if she's going to survive. But there is always hope, no matter how dark things get. And three things remain true, above all else.

Fellowship is stronger than isolation.

The past will come back to haunt you.

Nothing stays secret forever.

A fantasy epic of breathtaking scope, this is a rich standalone adventure for fans of Geralt and Ciri in The Witcher, for those who loved the mystery of The Tainted Cup and The Raven Scholar, or for anyone looking to recapture the magic of The Wheel of Time.©2025 Jeremy TeGrotenhuis

Critic reviews

Martin by way of Sapkoswki, Greathouse's new epic weaves a wonderfully engrossing story guaranteed to capture the attention of fantasy fans everywhere. Looking for a new chonky epic fantasy to lose yourself in? Look no further

You can tell Greathouse is a master by looking at the sheer scope of this book. Few authors could weave a haunted nation, a wandering mage, a hot dude with four arms, a fiend-invested girl, and a tortured priest into a coherent story, let alone one so compelling. You'll be itching for the next puzzle-piece in the epic worldbuilding mystery, and applauding as it all comes together

A great, deep and magical world to get lost in - classic and contemporary fantasy hand in hand

Highly recommended for fans of epic fantasy

Stunning . . . the model of 21st century sword and sorcery

A beautiful, intricate, angry book about the price tag of history, and whether we should keep paying it
