    Summary

    Rowena was bought, trained, and branded to serve a powerful man who preferred his weapons sharp and obedient.

    She fixed the last problem with a dagger.

    But freedom proved short-lived when a mind flayer ship crashed into the Sword Coast and left a parasite burrowing behind her eye. To survive, Rowena was forced into uneasy alliances with strangers she should not trust: a silver-tongued vampire who saw far too much of himself in her violence, and a wizard whose quiet kindness hid the kind of ambition that once nearly destroyed him.

    Both men carried ghosts of their own—one haunted by a master who refused to release his hold, the other by power he was never meant to wield.

    Both offered something she had never known before.

    Neither came without a cost.

    And as the road to Baldur’s Gate grew darker, Rowena would learn that killing her master had only been the beginning.

    Because some ghosts refused to stay dead.

    And some of them remembered exactly how to find her.
