In a world where raw magic is the norm...

Laine grew up isolated and unfettered, a Son of Solvany full of True Dreams. Now his mountain caravan route grows more dangerous by the day, and Laine can't afford distractions—not from Dreams turning dark, not from his sheltered sister, and not from Ehren, the enigmatic warrior who joins the caravan to skirt the deadly Barrenlands.

Or so he says.

Laine thinks there's more to it. A murdered sovereign, a King's Guard in exile, a family in hiding...a twice-cursed Son of Solvany. Ehren is determined to unravel the escalating mystery that surrounds them all—and if he's been sent to kill Laine and his sister, it suddenly seems he might also be the only one who can save them.

But only if Laine can break through the veil of secrets behind what he Sees...
