In the wake of the death of her parents, Kara Tanner must get on with life. But trying to keep her promises to them only keeps the pair in her thoughts.

In the great keepe of the House of Hawks, Blade Lord Jacyn hears whispers of war. But as he broods, it is what he sees that troubles him. A lovely, weeping woman has appeared in his darksilver. As suspicion finally gives way to obsession, he must act to bring her to him or see her perish.
