"When glass hits the floor, it scatters to the furthest corners. Don't you know that broken things have the sharpest edges?" Errance has it all-a crown, a kingdom, a family, and grace for eternity. Yet even after seven years of peace, decades of imprisonment have left scars upon his soul that refuse to fade. Fear of the future keeps him crippled in the present. When one of his worst fears comes true, Errance is left with a choice-remain hiding in the safety of Aselvia or return to the world that hurt him the first time. Throwing all caution to the wind, he plunges into the dregs of the cities and climbs to the heights of society in the search for his missing loved one. There is more at work than he can see-allies are not all that they appear. Lies, schemes, and politics are seeking the strengths and weaknesses of Aselvia, and if he's not careful, he'll lose everything he holds dear. But the King of the Elves has not survived this long just to lose to mortal treachery, and when he comes out of his kingdom, he's coming to set the world on fire.
