General Zerrah, the newly appointed the twenty-ninth Lord of the Zauphrii, crosses over Elyon’s fallen barriers into a world unbound. Meanwhile, judgment descends upon the land led by a lion army. But one lioness is charged with a gentler task—to guard a young Hooni’i child marked for destiny.

With the restraints of the barriers shattered, ancient factions surge to fulfill their darkest desires: to annihilate one another. Zerrah must forge fragile alliances with Hooni’i villages, and the lion host, to engage in the battles to come.

But the Rauthlin will not be denied. Their rebellion blazes hotter than ever, driving them to obliterate all in their path. Within their ranks, Queen Darmonla seethes with jealousy over a rival in her court, while Lord Rog demands absolute focus on their march of annihilation.
