In a dark fantasy world where the old gods threaten to reawaken and destroy everything, warriors and mages are locked in an endless war over relics containing remnants of the gods' powers. Blacksmith Rowan Blackthorne and mage apprentice Serena Ashwyn cross paths after surviving another bloody skirmish. But their encounter takes a mysterious turn when they hear the sound of a crying child—though only they can hear it. They discover a mute, nameless child with angel wings on her ears.
