Summary
After the Calldyr Executions, Elise Riorson, the daughter of Fen Riorson, is kept in the city to be fostered by King Tauri himself. She spends the next five years as the royal family’s whipping girl, a hostage in all but name, while secretly training for the Riders Quadrant with Cam’s help.
The night before she leaves for Basgiath, Halden comes to her with a cruel offer, claiming it was her brother who killed Alic during Threshing two years ago: If she dies on Conscription Day, he and his father will consider the score settled and spare Xaden’s life.
It’s simple enough, right? All she has to do is to jump off the parapet, and Xaden will be safe. Except he is waiting for her on the wrong side of the parapet, and even though he can’t interfere with what happens on that death trap of a bridge, Liam Mairi can.
