Fantasy

Poison, war, and ancient spirits converge in this award-winning epic fantasy: “a well-crafted debut with . . . solid worldbuilding, and original characters” (Kirkus).

Jovan was born into a noble family with a secret duty. To all appearances, he is a quiet, affable friend of the Chancellor’s irresponsible Heir. In truth, he’s a master of poisons and chemicals, trained to protect the Chancellor’s family from treachery.

When the Chancellor succumbs to an unknown poison and an army lays siege to the city, Jovan and his sister Kalina must protect the Heir and save their city-state. But treachery lurks in every corner, and the ancient spirits of the land are rising . . . and angry.

WINNER of the Ditmar Awards for Best Novel and Best New Talent, the Norma K Hemming Award, and the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel!
