Sinopsis

Thorn Bathu was born to fight. But when she kills a boy in the training square she finds herself named a murderer.

Fate
places her life in the hands of the deep-cunning Father Yarvi as he
sets out to cross half the world in search of allies against the
ruthless High King. Beside her is Brand, a young warrior who hates to
kill. A failure in her eyes and his own, the voyage is his last chance
at redemption.

But warriors can be weapons, and weapons are made
for one purpose. Will Thorn always be a tool in the hands of the
powerful, or can she carve her own path? Is there a place outside of
legend for a woman with a blade?
