Book Description
Daniel Abraham delighted fantasy readers with his brilliant, original, and engaging first novel, A Shadow in Summer. Now he has produced an even more powerful sequel, a tragedy as darkly personal and violent as Shakespeare's Macbeth. As a boy, Otah Machi was exiled from his family, Machi's ruling house. Decades later, he has witnessed and been part of world-changing events. Yet he has never returned to Machi. Now his father--the Khai, or ruler, of Machi--is dying and his eldest brother Biitrah has been assassinated, Otah realizes that he must return to Machi, for reasons not even he understands. Tradition dictates that the sons of a dying Khai fall upon each other until only one remains to succeed his father. But something even worse is occurring in Machi. The Galts, an expansive empire, has allied with someone in Machi to bring down the ruling house. Otah is accused, the long-missing brother with an all-too-obvious motive for murder. With the subtlety and wonderful storytelling skill of his first novel, Abraham has created a masterful drama filled with a unique magic, a suspenseful thriller of sexual betrayal, and Machiavellian politics. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

In the power struggle between two elite groups, one feisty girl will bring them to their knees... He thinks he's broken me. That I'm finally under his complete control. But I'm biding my time, gathering intel, making plans, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. So, when an unexpected savior appears--offering me a way out--I grasp it with both hands. But the man I love refuses to let me go, and he's hell-bent on protecting me at all costs. Except he's far too late. Kaiden's betrayal fuels the anger flowing through my veins, and now our roles are reversed--I'm the hunter, and he's my prey. I enjoy torturing him, lying to him, and letting him believe in false truths that were never our reality. Until the stakes are raised, and I'm forced into playing their game again. Only this time, it's not just my life hanging in the balance. I thought he'd done his worst. That he didn't have the power to hurt me anymore. But I was wrong.
