She is unemployed and facing a bleak future, but her fellow Heralds are disappearing, and her own mind seems to be coming apart at the seams. She resolves to go to Brittletain, the ancient and mysterious island that the Imperium was never able to tame, with the hope of finding who she really is. Envoy Kaeto has been assigned to escort Gynid Tyleigh, who is responsible for creating the Heralds, across the Imperium. Tyleigh's ambition alarms even Kaeto, and her conviction that she has found a new source of Titan bones could lead to another, even bloodier war. Ynis was raised by the griffins and has never seen another human face. She lives wild, eating her meat raw and flying with her talon-sister, T rook. The griffins fiercely protect their isolation, but the magic they guard will always make them a target for the greed of men. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 560 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 September 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titan Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnveil a captivating history that resists being forgotten in a realm of mythical creatures and ruthless religion in this brand-new duology from the multi-award-winning author of The Ninth Rain, ideal for fans of John Gwynne and Andrea Stewart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeven has no recollection of her life before she became a soldier.
