Sword shall guide the hands of men .
. .
For over a thousand years the kingdom of Lardan has been at peace: isolated
from the world, safe from the wars of its neighbors, slowly forgetting the wild
and deadly magic of its origins. Now the deepest truths of the past and the
darkest predictions for the future survive only in the verses of nursery
rhymes.
For over a thousand years, some of Lardan’s fractious provinces have been
biding their time.
Kyali Corwynall is the daughter of the Lord General, a child of one of the
royal Houses, and the court’s only sword-wielding girl. She has known for all of
her sixteen years what the future holds for her–politics and duty, the
management of a House, and protecting her best friend, the princess and presumed
heir to the throne. But one day an old nursery rhyme begins to come true, an
ancient magic wakes, and the future changes for everyone. In the space of a
single night her entire life unravels into violence and chaos. Now Kyali must
find a way to master the magic her people have left behind, or watch her
world–and her closest friends–fall to a war older than the kingdom itself.
About the Author:
Amy Bai has been, by order of neither chronology nor preference, a barista,
a numbers-cruncher, a paper-pusher, and a farmhand. She likes thunderstorms, the
enthusiasm of dogs, tall boots and long jackets, cinnamon basil, margaritas,
and being surprised by the weirdness of her fellow humans. She lives in
New England with her guitar-playing Russian husband and two very
goofy sheepdogs.
