Synopsis

Errin lives in a village where life has been hard since her brother Lief disappeared. She looks after her sick mother and pays the rent by selling herbal cures, which are illegal. Her work is dangerous enough, but a worse threat has arrived: the Queen has woken the Sleeping Prince from his enchanted sleep, and he wants revenge.

When the village is evacuated because of the war against the Prince, Errin has no home and no money. The one person she can turn to is Silas, a young man who buys deadly poisons from her and will not say what he needs them for. He promises to help. Then he vanishes.

Errin sets out across a kingdom close to war, looking for another way to save her mother and herself. What she discovers overturns what she has believed about her world. As the Sleeping Prince draws nearer, she faces a choice that will hurt and could shape the fate of the whole kingdom.

This is a dark fantasy and the sequel to The Sin Eater's Daughter. It follows Errin on the road, with menace building and a sense of dread as the war closes in.
