Summary

In her forest-veiled pagan village, Evike is the only woman without power, treated like an outcast due to her corrupted bloodline. So, when soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a girl for the king's blood sacrifice, Evike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered. When monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route to the capital, they slaughter everyone but Evike and the cold, one-eyed captain. But soon she learns he's no ordinary Woodsman -- he's Gaspar Barany, the disgraced prince, whose cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a reign of religious persecution and ethnic cleansing. With no one else to rely on, Evike and the captain form a tenuous pact to stop his brother. As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection. But trust can easily be betrayed, and as Evike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar must decide where their loyalties really lie...
