Ally

The Illhari Republic teeters on the edge of war... Rival godsworn battle in Illharek's streets. In the fields and forests, a dragon-led army plots its attack. With powerful allies in the Senate and the Academy trying to maintain order, Snow and Veiko make plans to confront the god's avatar. But as the army--and the dragon--bear down on Illharek, a godsworn assassin shatters the city's fragile peace. As their alliances start to crack, Snow and Veiko find themselves fighting a war on two fronts. Because this isn't a battle for Illharek's streets, it's a battle for Illharek's soul. Praise for K.
