How can one decide between allowing the slaughter of countless innocents or becoming a murderer themselves? How can they choose when both options will destroy them? Estra lived a sheltered life until her convent is burned down by a band of heretics led by a rogue sorceress, exposing her to a plot large enough to start a new cataclysm. Torn from her home and forced to fight for her life in a world of murder, monsters, and worse, Estra must survive and learn to use her newfound powers if she hopes to prevent a catastrophe. But first, she'll have to deal with hatred growing inside of her for the people that took everything she loved. When she's finally given the assignment of executing those responsible for her suffering, Estra embarks on a journey that reveals things aren't as black and white as she'd been led to believe.
