Casora is the captain of the war band known as the Deathless, so it's her responsibility. Her fault that so many of them turned berserker at the news that their homeland had been conquered. All she wants is to lead the Deathless back home to drive out the invaders, but berserkers are barred from ever returning. Unless they can find a cure for the Curse. There's one chance, the answer to a prayer: help the youngest prince find his way and he will help them find theirs. It's their only hope.

Tiaran is the youngest prince of Artria, the one no one believes can ever be a warrior—no matter how hard he tries. His father has other plans. Tiaran is to be used to secure the loyalty of an opportunistic general by marrying the general's horrible daughter. Deep down, in a way he can't explain, he knows he must fight to defend Artria from the invading horde. No one would believe him if he told them that they'll lose the war if they don't let him fight. So be it. But taking matters into his own hands very nearly gets him killed.

When these two join forces on the battlefield, they'll shake the foundations of kingdoms.
