A girl who can speak to gods, a prince who must learn whom to trust, and a boy with a monstrous secret seek to assassinate the king and stop a centuries-long war. Nadya, a girl who can speak to gods, must save her people without destroying herself. A prince in danger must decide who to trust. A boy with a monstrous secret waits in the wings. In a centuries-long war, their paths entwine in a shadowy world of spilled blood and mysterious saints. Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war. But a forbidden romance threatens to tip the scales between dark and light. -- adapted from jacket
