Short Synopsis
Andy Peloquin presents Book 7 in the Darkblade series.

Full Synopsis
The Hunter has worn countless faces, played countless roles. Conqueror. Savior. Assassin. Protector. He is all of them and more . . .

But one performance for which he is truly ill-suited is that of father.

Particularly to a daughter who seeks to use him only to her own ends, willing to manipulate, deceive, and murder to gain access to the arcane power hidden around Einan by the ancient Serenii.

The Hunter is left no choice in the matter, for hunting Jaia is a foe far more deadly and implacable than any he has faced: the Secret Keepers.

The tongueless alchemists and warrior-priests will stop at nothing until they have their prize. Even if that means leaving a trail of blood and bodies in their wake.

Will the Hunter's legendary skill suffice to outrun his daughter's pursuers, or will even his inhuman abilities falter in the face of such overwhelming odds?

The stakes have never been higher—not only for the Hunter, but for everyone he loves.
