The war for Kraji's freedom is over. The war for its survival is only just beginning.
After thirteen years of occupation, the last soldiers of the Eastern Offensive have been driven from Kraji's lands. But victory has left the country exposed-and looking to the two people who never meant to save it.
Remedy started a revolution to save one life, then spent months saving thousands more. Now Kraji wants her to become its general, the position once held by her mother, the one who never believed Remedy was fit to lead. She would rather return to her operating room than inherit a legacy built on impossible expectations. But with an enemy army massing beyond the border, her brilliant mind may be the only weapon that can give her people a chance.
Nith should be celebrating. The former slave is now a decorated officer reunited with the daughter he was forbidden to see and living with the woman he risked his life to be with. But freedom and honor cannot silence the past. As old traumas surface and his control begins to slip, the winged super soldier discovers that violence is a far easier path than healing.
When a betrayal carries Remedy over the border and places her within reach of the ruler preparing to reduce Kraji to ash, the country is left without hope, and Nith is left without the one connection keeping him together. Now he must embark on a secret mission into enemy territory to find Remedy before it's too late-for her and Kraji. The only question is: Does she want to be found?
Kraji's future depends on the two people who saved it. But before they can protect its fragile freedom, they must face ghosts that refuse to die.
