Description
A violent fugitive who cannot speak, who has no past.
A disgraced noblewoman who would rather forget her past.
And a world of magic that has turned against both of them.
Seriana Marguerite, daughter of a warrior house, once believed that intelligence, determination, and love could avert the consequences of youthful rebellion.
She was wrong.
Violating the singular tenet of the Four Realms-that sorcery and all who practice it must be reported and exterminated-brought torment and death to those closest to her. Only her family's influence preserved her own life, a mercy for which she has never been thankful.
Over the years Seri has adapted to poverty and exile, far from royal intrigues and the politics of power. But her bitter peace collapses on the day she encounters a half-mad fugitive-a man incapable of speech, yet skilled at violence.
The discovery that one of his dead-eyed pursuers is the man responsible for the horrors of her past forces Seri onto a path of anguished memory and ancient riddles, a race to unravel the mysteries of the fugitive's identity, his mission, and a looming danger that could shatter the very foundation of the world.

Person
Carol Berg has lived a large portion of her life in realms of mystery and adventure - Middle Earth, Camelot, Amber, Wonderland, Harry Dresden's Chicago, Jim Chee's New Mexico, Cheltenham race track and the colleges of Oxford, Cold War Berlin, the Welsh borderlands, River Heights, and Marvel's version of Hell's Kitchen. Though she earned a degree in mathematics at Rice University, in part so she wouldn't have to write papers, she took every English course that listed novels on the syllabus, just so she would have time to keep reading.Somewhere in the midst of earning a second degree in computer science at the University of Colorado, a software engineering career, and raising three sons, a friend teased her into exchanging letters written "in character." Once Carol started writing fiction, she couldn't stop.Carol's epic fantasy novels, and those written by her alter ego, Cate Glass, eighteen in all, have earned national and international acclaim, including the Geffen Award, the Prism Award, multiple Colorado Book Awards, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature. Carol lives in Colorado at the foot of the Rocky Mountains with her Exceptional Spouse, camping, hiking, biking, binge-watching good stuff, and reading.
