A collar of compulsion has one rule: kill who it names, or die burning. The wizard wearing this one is supposed to be dead. This morning, Akken finds out he isn't.
Parn Trippers is having a bad month. He's quit the constabulary, quit the White Ring, and carries a secret it's death to speak. Vani Brattle, the strongest mover alive, is recuperating at a clifftop inn. Then a masked wizard splits the morning sky. By the time the fires die, Parn's building is ash, the inn is off the escarpment, and Vani doesn't wake until the hospital.
Their attacker is no renegade. He's out of the White Ring's buried years, brilliant, courteous, sorry about all of it, and the relic burning on his neck offers him one bargain: kill everyone it names, or die. He doesn't want any of this. The collar doesn't care.
To stop him, Parn goes back to the wizards he swore off. Vani rebuilds herself from a hospital bed, one brutal lesson at a time. The collar is only the first thing the White Ring buried.
For readers of Mark Lawrence and Brian McClellan: a dark, immersive world where magic always collects, and no one comes back whole.
