The story
Across five continents, the magic that has held the world together for a thousand years is quietly beginning to fail — and no one who wears a crown will say why.
An assassin wearing a stranger's name. A soldier who can't buy back his freedom. A slave who reaches into the dark and feels it reach back. And on an island of iron, a fae heir who was never meant to be found. Five lives, one unraveling world — and something everyone believed was dead that refuses to stay buried.
