Korrigan Grimm is nothing more than a pawn, caught between his father and their sworn enemy in a war without end. He has spent most of his life as the prisoner of the Sharhadua, as have his siblings. Although he is treated well, his life is not his own. And yet, Korrigan Grimm has a destiny.

As battles are lost and powers shift, his siblings are put to death, one by one, as is the tradition. His time is running out and if he is to claim his power, he must act swiftly. With the help of his only true friend, Whisper, he escapes his bondage and flees toward a father who is a stranger to him. But this is a brutal world, ruled by war and governed by battles both won and lost. Even a stolen dragon’s pearl won’t be enough to save him. He must reclaim his soul-binding artifacts and thus, his power.

Hunted by both sides and feared on the battlefield, Korrigan Grimm fights to reclaim his artifacts and his power. But will his power be enough? Can he somehow seize his father’s power and end the war, all while keeping his friends safe? And what is the price of living forever in a world that never stops trying to kill you?
