On the border of the Illhari Republic…
 
Snowdenaelikk, conjuror and heretic,  lives on the edge of the Republic--and the law--as a cartel enforcer. Then a smuggling deal goes bad, a village burns, and she finds herself on the wrong side of a legion patrol.
 
Veiko Nyrikki is an outlaw and an outlander, just trying to survive……until his sense of honor--and his ax--get between Snow and the legion. Now he’s got new enemies and new allies and survival’s gotten complicated. But Snow and Veiko soon discover the legion is the least of their problems.
 
The Republic is built on the bones of a banished dragon god, and she has come back for revenge.
