In this epic fantasy from a bestselling author, a usurped prince must master the magic of shadows in order to reclaim his kingdom and his people.
Cyrus wants out. Trained to be an assassin in order to oust the invading Empire from his kingdom, Cyrus is now worried the price of his vengeance is too high. His old master has been keeping too many secrets to be trusted. And the mask he wears to hide his true identity and become the legendary "Vagrant" has started whispering to him in the dark. But the fight isn't over and the Empire has sent its full force to bear upon Cyrus's floundering revolution. He'll have to decide once and for all whether to become the thing he fears or lose the country he loves.

      Dalglish continues the Vagrant Gods series (after The Bladed Faith, 2022), an epic fantasy that takes place in Thanet, a once polytheistic island oppressed by a fanatic, monotheistic empire ruled by the unforgiving God-Incarnate. Cyrus, the former heir of the invaded idyllic kingdom, struggles with his revolutionary role as the Vagrant Prince when he learns about his old master's betrayal and his family's not-so-peaceful history. Powers are shifting and truths are uncovered, forcing his rebellious group of masked heroes to adapt to the times or give up entirely. Besides vanquishing their inner demons, they must also bring down the emperor's godly and seemingly indestructible son, Galvanis, his powerful daughter, Sinshei vin Lucavi, and her conniving and loyal paragon, Soma Ordiae. This dark adventure narrated in multiple perspectives will hook genre fans with its detailed world building, strong characters, and bloody, action-packed scenes. Readers who enjoy Mark Lawrence and Erika Johansen will root for Thanet's rebel team of misfits and, after experiencing a handful of shocking revelations, will eagerly anticipate the next book in the series.
