In the aftermath of a devastating clash between gods and men, two unlikely allies-one immortal and one human-must band together to survive in the sequel to the epic fantasy debut The Song of All. The war between men and immortals that raged across the frozen Northland of Davvieana has ended. For men, the balance of power between Believer and Brethren, between honoring the gods and honoring the sword, has shifted to favor priests over Hunters. But it is the legacy of one man's love for his son that shapes the lives of all who survived. While Irjan, the once-legendary immortal hunter, has saved his son's life, he cannot save Marnej from the men who will make him a killer, nor can he save the immortal girl he'd promised to protect from the secret of her birth. Raised by Irjan among the immortals, Darja has been trained to fight by a man who once hunted her kind. Prisoner among the humans, her hatred for them is challenged by the chance to give Irjan what he has always wanted-his son Marnej returned to him. Together, Marnej and Darja, human and immortal, must find a way to trust one another if they are to live long enough to learn the truth behind the secrets and lies that have forged their lives.
