Born of Scrat and satyr, the child is outlawed, coveted, and cursed. Only the Scarlet Warrior stands between her and oblivion.
Gwin has spent long weeks tending a High Lord scarred by fire and broken by his fall from the Obsidian Citadel. Her world shifts when Aliona arrives. The Queen of Kaelunis is exquisite, terrifying, and the bestower of Lord Dewer's immortal life. When Gulpe reaches out from the changelings' hidden refuge, Gwin must choose between rebellion and Aliona's irresistible allure.
Vanth hunts the witch who damned her, only to find Vixana has vanished into Jonick, the Masked City. As the black flame tearing through her body grows fiercer, she must navigate the city's treacherous waterways and closely guarded secrets before she burns the world to ash.
Beyond the forest, Lowen, tainted by Codarn's vile magicks, races against time as her child's birth looms. She seeks the safety of the Green King, but nightmarish creatures stalk the Bleeyding Wood and predators strike from its haunted shadows.
As queens rise, witches flee, and ancient gods wake, Joria stands on the brink of upheaval. Mysteries unravel. Monsters gather. The Scarlet Warrior will not fight alone-but the bonds she forges may unleash an inferno.
Perfect for fans of The Witcher, Priory of the Orange Tree, and The First Law trilogy, The Scarlet Warrior is a dark epic fantasy of blighted heroines, treacherous queens, and battles fought in shadow and flame.
