A tale of the trials of reclaiming identity, Subjugation follows Sahira after the events of Sovereign. Queen Malia Ausan has done what no Ausan monarch before her dared: freed the attendants, made elves citizens, and begun returning Nadun to its own people. But the throne she fought for is far from secure, and the truths uncovered on her Expedition were only the beginning.
Sahira has spent her whole life outrunning what her own people call her and built herself into one of the finest soldiers in the Kingdom of Camoor instead. When Malia sends her after a fugitive Archdruid with ties to the crown's darkest secrets, the hunt drags Sahira back into the parts of herself she's spent years refusing to look at. As the trail leads toward a reckoning older than the kingdom itself, Sahira will have to decide whether surviving was ever the same thing as living - and what she's willing to become.
