OverviewPerfect for fans of Naomi Novik, Robin Hobb and Sarah J. Maas She has no name and no history, but she has a power greater than the Empire has ever known. Thanks to her special gift Judah has enjoyed a privileged life, being raised alongside Gavin, the son and heir to Lord Elban's vast empire. But as they grow Judah comes to realise that while Gavin is being groomed for his future role, she has no true position, and no hope of ever travelling beyond the castle walls. Lord Elban has plans for Judah for all of them but to him, she's nothing but a pawn. And he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. But he's not the only one with plans. Outside the castle wall in the starving, desperate city is a healer with his own secret power and his own plans for the empire . . . and Judah. The girl who started life with no name and no history will soon uncover more to her story than she ever imagined.
