Long ago, Vích took her younger brother and fled the mysterious but terrible fate their mother intended for them both. Bound together by her curse and his gift, neither Vích nor Lahn have ever needed to fear any of the ordinary dangers that beset mortal people. But they have never been safe from those who would use them both in pursuit of power beyond life and death. Now those enemies have found them. The world will never be the same.

Rachel Neumeier started writing fiction to relax when she was a graduate student and needed a hobby unrelated to her research. Prior to selling her first fantasy novel, she had published only a few articles in venues such as The American Journal of Botany. However, finding that her interests did not lie in research, Rachel left academia and began to let her hobbies take over her life instead. She now raises and shows dogs, gardens, cooks, and occasionally finds time to read. She works part-time for a tutoring program, though she tutors far more students in Math and Chemistry than in English Composition.
