[EN] Rebecca Ross, acclaimed author of The Queen’s Rising duology, delivers a thrilling new fantasy about the lengths two sisters will go for each other. Perfect for fans of Ember in the Ashes, Sky In the Deep, and Court of Fives.

Après huit ans, Evadne va enfin retrouver sa sœur aînée, Halcyon, qui sert dans l’armée de la reine. Mais lorsque Halcyon apparaît inopinément avec un jour d’avance, Eva sait que quelque chose ne va pas. Halcyon est accusée d’un crime odieux et, bien que sa vie soit épargnée, elle est condamnée à 15 ans de prison.

Se méfiant des accusations portées par le commandant de l’armée d’Halcyon, ainsi que des détails du crime, Eva se porte volontaire pour purger une partie de la peine de sa sœur. S’il existe un moyen d’absoudre Halcyon, elle le trouvera. Mais lorsque les sœurs commencent à purger leur peine, elles apprennent rapidement qu’il existe des destins pires que la mort.

After eight years, Evadne will finally be reunited with her older sister, Halcyon, who has been serving in the queen’s army. But when Halcyon unexpectedly appears a day early, Eva knows something is wrong. Halcyon has charged with a heinous crime, and though her life is spared, she is sentenced to 15 years.

Suspicious of the charges, brought forth by Halcyon’s army commander, as well as the details of the crime, Eva volunteers to take part of her sister’s sentence. If there’s a way to absolve Halcyon, she’ll find it. But as the sisters begin their sentences, they quickly learn that there are fates worse than death.
