In the fractured kingdom of Lore, twenty-one-year-old Tarek survives by running secret messages through the war-torn streets of Highcrest—until one mission leads him straight into the path of the king’s guard. Dragged from the slums into the glittering, perilous world of the royal court, Tarek discovers a truth hidden his entire life: he is the bastard son of the dying King Reymond Blackthorn.
