“Bringer of Death”, “Evil One”, “Most Despised”, “Leader of the Damned”: all of these were names that Alkinai (Kin) had worn arrogantly for most of his life.
He took pride in each name and allowed them to be bullet points on his résumé. He was one of the most powerful and most feared men in the land. Yet, he was lost. Dreams plague his mind and torment his soul. When the woman that has held his heart for a decade walks away, he finds himself torn. Little did he know he was to be a father.

Katana has always known who she was and who Alkinai was to her.  He refuses to accept that he is her Intended, her Etam.  Finding out that he may be the very evil her family despises causes her to rethink their impasse.  Kat’s fear for the life of their unborn child and a whispered word from a certain Foresayer (Soothsayer/Foreseer) causes her to exit the life that she’s known with Alkinai.

Will the possible loss of his family be enough to make Kin take a look at the choices that he's made? Or will the engrained nature and bloodline of his father rule his life and turn his heart costing him his Intended and a place in the life of his unborn child?
