Synopsis
Broken former courtier Cazaril returns from slavery to serve as tutor to a young royesse, only to discover that a curse hangs over the royal family. When political intrigue and dark magic threaten his charge, Cazaril must make a desperate bargain with the gods themselves to break the curse — even if it costs him his life.
