Tad may have had to put his dream of owning a shop on hold, but his drive to understand what he's destined to become has only grown. This means finally seeking out his family for answers, and a perilous journey to the heart of the Fey Courts. But before he can claim his birthright, Tad must meet the challenges of both courts—the Summer Court, chaotic and calculating, and the Void Court, stoic and pragmatic. If he's going to succeed, he'll need more than allies... he'll need an army.

Cyrus Spitama, grandson of the prophet Zoroaster and lifelong friend of Xerxes, spent most of his life as Persian ambassador for the great king Darius. He traveled to India, where he discussed nirvana with Buddha, and to the warring states of Cathay, where he learned of Tao from Master Li and fished on the riverbank with Confucius. Now blind and aged in Athens - the Athens of Pericles, Sophocles, Thucydides, Herodotus, and Socrates - Cyrus recounts his days as he strives to resolve the fundamental questions that have guided his life’s journeys.
