What would you do for freedom? It is a question that puts the slave, Martisa of the House of Usher, on a dangerous path. She makes a deal with her masters, the priests of the Conclave: to spy on the renegade sorcerer Shilhara of Neith in exchange for freedom. The priests want Martisa to expose the sorcerer’s treachery and bring him to justice. It's a risky proposition, but she accepts the deal without hesitation... until she falls in love with a potential enemy. Nate's Shilhara, the Lord of the Ravens, is a desperate person. A god called Blight invades his mind, tempting him with promises of limitless power if he helps him gain dominion over the world. Shilhara fights against the influence of Fel and seeks ways to destroy God. When the Conclave gives him Martis as a student, he understands perfectly well that he is opening the doors of his house to a spy. Now he is waging a war on two fronts - against a god who wants to take possession of him, and a traitorous student. A magician and a spy together search for a ritual that will destroy the Blight, but at the same time they discover secrets about each other that could damn them both. Shilhara must decide whether his fate and the fate of the peoples is worth the soul of the woman he loved, and Martis must choose further slavery or freedom at the cost of human life. And love.
