Sloane, sheltered, yet persistent, believes she's capable, and longs for everyone to see past her disabled

leg. Selling at Market Day unaccompanied is the chance to prove herself. But when she returns home to

her village, she's shattered to discover the Befallen has killed everyone. Having nothing but her faith in

the goddesses of the moon, she's forced to test her strength in the outside world. Sloane realizes the

kingdom is dangerous even without the Befallen: full of thieves, thugs, and, worse, heretics.

Sloane is further shocked no one seems to know the entire legend, which promises a hero will defeat the

Befallen. When she learns an order of knights have vowed to fulfill the legend, she's determined to help

them as she alone was taught that a weapon will be gifted from the seldom-seen goddess of the Azure

Sir Tolvar, a banished, famed knight, wrestling with the demons of his past, is skeptical. He's reluctant to

let Sloane join their cause until she convinces him that faith carries its own power.

As the two uncover the mysteries surrounding the Befallen-growing steadily stronger-an impossible

task is thrust upon Sloane that makes her question everything...
