Product Description
Product Description
This stunning book opens twelve years after the end of The Cup of the World and tells the story of Ambrose, son of Phaedra and last in the king's line, who is living exiled with his mother in the dilapidated manor of Tarceny. Ambrose's life is threatened by the hooded priest of the Undercraft, an ancestral spirit of pure evil who must end Ambrose's life in order to survive himself. And even when Ambrose is hidden within the house of the Widow of Develin, a hallowed place of learning and haven of education, the priest and his minions slowly and subtly infiltrate within, subverting the minds of those most educated and powerful and leaving Ambrose in mortal danger. This book is about the meaning of kingship, the relationship between father and son, mother and son, the importance of courage and knowledge, innocence and experience. It is a huge and marvellous read - challenging and uplifting.

From the Back Cover
Ambrose, the son of a dead and hated king and last in his family's line, is living in exile with his mother. Sophia is the daughter of the powerful Widow of Develin. Their world is the plaything of a vengeful spirit, who draws power from the tears of a god.
Nightmare and wanton murder drive them from their homes. Together, in the wilderness, among bandits and shadows, they find what it is to endure; what it means to forgive; and what it means to be king.
A challenging and uplifting fantasy about two young people caught up in a hostile world.
