Three years after finding release from the curse of madness that kept her imprisoned in her family's castle, Dowager Royina Ista is beckoned by freedom's call to wander the open road with a small party of pilgrims. But something else is free, too--something beyond deadly. When Ista's retinue is unexpectedly set upon not long into its travels, a mysterious ally appears--a warrior nobleman who fights like a berserker. The temporary safety of her enigmatic champion's castle cannot ease Ista's mounting dread, however, when she finds his dark secrets are entangled with hers in a net of the gods' own weaving.
