- Baker & Taylor
Destined to become a sacrifice on behalf of her superstitious people, Csorwe accepts a powerful mageâs alternate offer to become his bodyguard and spy to help him reclaim his power in the land from where he was exiled. - Baker & Taylor
"What if you knew how and when you will die? Csorwe does. She will climb the mountain, enter the Shrine of the Unspoken, and gain the most honored title: sacrifice. On the day of her foretold death, however, a powerful mage offers her a new fate. Csorwe leaves her home, her destiny, and her god to become the wizard's loyal sword-hand -- stealing, spying, and killing to help him reclaim his seat of power in the homeland from which he was exiled. But Csorwe and the wizard will soon learn - gods remember, and if you live long enough, all debts come due"-- - McMillan Palgrave
