New York Times bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima comes from a long line of fortune-tellers, musicians and spinners of tales. The Seven Realms tremble when the lives of Hans and Raisa collide, fanning the flames of the smoldering war between clans and wizards. She aspires to be like Hanalea-the legendary warrior queen who killed the Demon King and saved the world. Raisa wants to be more than an ornament in a glittering cage. She's just returned to court after three years of freedom in the mountains-riding, hunting, and working the famous clan markets. Meanwhile, Raisa ana'Marianna, princess heir of the Fells, has her own battles to fight. With a magical piece that powerful at stake, Han knows that the Bayars will stop at nothing to get it back. Soon Han learns that the amulet has an evil history-it once belonged to the Demon King, the wizard who nearly destroyed the world a millennium ago. Han takes an amulet from Micah Bayar, son of the High Wizard, to keep him from using it against them. One day, Han and his clan friend, Dancer, confront three young wizards setting fire to the sacred mountain of Hanalea. They're clearly magicked-as he grows, they grow, and he's never been able to get them off. The only thing of value he has is something he can't sell-the thick silver cuffs he's worn since birth. Reformed thief Han Alister will do almost anything to eke out a living for his family. Times are hard in the mountain city of Fellsmarch.
