About this Book

Print Excerpt


Today, without a doubt, was a miracle. It pains me to admit it, but unless a meteorite kills Miasma next time, even I can't save us, not if we keep on traveling with so many commoners.

It's time I had a talk with Ren.

I slip my fan's bamboo handle between the broadbelt and my waist, clasp my hair back into its ponytail, and head out of the tent, into the night.
