Synopsis
In the sequel to
Hero's Song, archer Breo-Saight discovers her birthright, a magical golden arrow that strikes down its targets with a blast of eldritch flame. Each time Brie uses it, she and the arrow grow more alike: single-minded, driven, deadly.
The arrow rekindles Brie's forgotten vow of revenge on the men who murdered her father. And it leads her to a strange country where she finds the family she's always longed for but also the sinister doings of a one-eyed sorcerer whose only fear is the young archer and her fire arrow.
