Condemned for treason and stripped of everything she once believed in, Jora Lanseri should be awaiting execution. Instead, she's offered an impossible bargain. Pardoned in exchange for her silence, Jora must secretly uncover the powerful figures smuggling the life-giving godfruit into enemy hands-an act that has prolonged a brutal war for generations. If she succeeds, she may earn redemption. If she fails, she'll lose far more than her own life. But every answer leads to older, darker secrets. Guided by the dolphin Sundancer and the mysterious power of the Mindstream, Jora discovers forgotten truths surrounding the ancient Spirit Stones and an army that history itself has buried: the Colossi, legendary warriors imprisoned in stone since the Great Reckoning. From the Colossi's perspective, only moments have passed since they fought against the previous gatekeeper. Jora may be able to awaken them-but there is no guarantee they will fight beside her. They may see her as the enemy they never finished defeating. As conspiracies tighten around the throne and hidden enemies move in the shadows, Jora must decide whom she can trust before a kingdom already drowning in war tears itself apart. Because some legends are safer left asleep.
