As whispers of Blackwater Hold spread and the next hunt begins, Jasper and his allies are forced out of the safety of the village and into a deadly race across a kingdom on the edge of war.To protect his home, Jasper must forge more than weapons. He must forge trust, courage, and a future strong enough to survive the truth.
