The last time Draken traveled Akrasia, he was the highest lord in the land. His journey before that was eased by royal favor and the grace of the gods. This time is different. His adopted country buckling under attack from religious fanatics and his Queen presumed dead, Draken must flee a deadly coup by an upstart lord. Bitter from fighting an insurmountable war and losing the life he's built, he lets the ghosts of past mistakes drive him into vigilante revenge. But Draken is about to learn gods and wars have a way of catching up to a man. In the thrilling conclusion to Dornbusch's Book of the Seven Eyes trilogy—following Exile and Emissary—Draken tries to find peace and solace in a life that has been surrounded by bloodshed. But first, he must avenge those he cares about—even if it means striking down anyone who stands in his way . . .
