Description
Adelind dreams of becoming a member of the King's Guard: a rank no other woman has held. But when her father, the king, declares he's leaving on a secret mission and abdicating his throne to her in his absence, her dream shatters.
During a surprise attack at her eighteenth Name Day celebration, Adelind witnesses the brutal murder of her parents and the loss of her kingdom at the hands of a secret sect of soldiers. She narrowly escapes with the help of a guardsman and a prince from a neighboring kingdom. After a strange symbol appears on her arm, they seek refuge in a nearby village where she learns she's a Legacy: one who bears the mark of the fallen god, Vaas, and as such, is considered an abomination.
When Adelind discovers Legacies are being hunted down and executed by the soldiers who killed her parents, she enlists the help of the guardsman and prince to forge a small army to stop the leader of the sect. However, they soon find out that the soldiers have acquired the only weapon that can kill a god. If they locate Vaas, they will kill him. If he dies, all those bearing his mark, including Adelind, will die, too.
As Adelind races to find Vaas first, she uncovers a web of secrets and lies tainting the kingdoms' history, including the discovery that the gods who created her world are the ones who want her dead. Plagued by multiple betrayals where alliances break, friendships falter, and the line between allies and enemies blurs, Adelind must decide whom to trust and whether rescuing a fallen god will save the kingdoms or destroy them all.
