About This Book
In the Italian-inspired peninsula of the Lower Danelion, two sorcerers have divided the land between them, each wielding terrible magic to maintain their rule. A group of rebels from the conquered province of Tigana, whose very name has been erased from memory and history, must work together to restore their homeland and reclaim their identity before it is lost forever.
