Born into generations of prosperity, the four royal children of the Akaran dynasty know little of the world outside their opulent island paradise. But when an assassin strikes at the heart of their power, their lives are changed forever.
Forced to flee to distant corners and separated against their will, the children must navigate a web of hidden allegiances, ancient magic, foreign invaders, and illicit trade that will challenge their very notion of who they are. As they come to understand their true purpose in life, the fate of the world lies in their hands.

Praise for David Anthony Durham and The Acacia Trilogy:

"A fascinating world." --USA Today

"Thrilling. . . . Durham's new world--like our old one--is crawling with wickedly fascinating characters." --Entertainment Weekly

"A truly epic fantasy . . . Superbly written." --Fantasy Magazine
