Moenda is a land where the past grates on open wounds, where people forget themselves in their struggle not to pick at the scabs in their hearts. The ruling power, the Ascendancy, used genocide to gain power, exterminating the Deadbringers, whose ancestral ability to raise the dead made them easy to vilify. Now the next dance begins, as an uneasy peace teeters on the edge…
