From the New York Times bestselling author comes a breathtaking fantasy of a cursed kingdom, warring clans, and unexpected salvation.
By breaking the curse, they could defeat the king...but they could also destroy themselves..
There is only one way to defend their land from the corruption that has overtaken it.
What Bayr and Alba don\'t know is that they each threaten the king, a greedy man who built his throne on lies, murder, and betrayal.
Charged with battling the enemies of their people, both within and without, Bayr is fueled further by the love of a Girl who has defied the scourge of Saylok.
Now the fate of Saylok lies with Alba and Bayr, whose bond grows deeper with every whisper of coming chaos.
But he\'s also blessed with an all-too-human heart that beats with one purpose: to protect Alba, the First Girl Child born in nearly two decades and the salvation for a country at risk.
Raised among the Keepers at Temple Hill, Bayr is gifted with inhuman strength.
Bartered, abandoned, and rarely loved, she plagued the land with her words: From this day forward, there will be no daughters in Saylok.
Bayr of Saylok, bastard son of a powerful and jealous chieftain, is haunted by the curse once leveled by his dying mother.
