A warrior. A runaway. A kingdom on the brink of war. When heresy rises, who will survive the power shift?
Life is meant to be simple in Amadea: worship Verus, obey her prophet, and serve the king.
But heresy is taking root in the kingdom, sprung from the writings of a mad prophet. It threatens to inflame tensions with neighouring Pyrie, whose border attacks and slave uprisings continue to rob the kingdom of peace.
Tristan has no interest in heresies. But when the warrior finds Sabine on the side of the road - starving, beaten and all too ready to resort to violence - his life becomes increasingly complicated.
In the capital, the Thirteenth Prophet has sensed a change in the sacred flame, the source of his prophetic power, and he engages an ambitious warrior to help find the heretics.
Sabine and Tristan find themselves allied with heretics out of loyalty, not belief. Their bonds to those they love, and their growing attraction to each other, will be tested in ways neither of them sees coming.
The Shadow of the Eagle is the first book in The Children of Verus Trilogy, a new epic fantasy series that explores how dehumanising an enemy corrupts the soul of a society, and the ways in which those involved justify their hatred. It's also about the nature of loyalty, love, faith and friendship.
