Assassins lurk in every shadow of Covotana Palace. Noble blood is spilled, and the firstborn scion of the usurped king has been summoned to seek justice by the twins who now claim his throne.
Artemio Volpe must contend with more than simple intrigue. The embers of war burn bright beyond the horizon of the northern steppes, his already estranged family has been hounded by the assassinations, and the shades of the dead pervade his body and mind, granting him their power at a terrible price.
Torn between his duty to the kingdom and his studies at the legendary House of Seven Shadows, Artemio finds his loyalties divided and time running out. After all, the fires burning to the north are not mere barbarian's pyres. They're dragon fire...

I was not a fan of Harmony, especially in scenes when she was acting overly dim-witted and an annoyance to people who were actually getting things done.
The book would have been much improved if Harmony was not there, If Artemio was actually as smart as the whole book tried to convice us he was and if Orsina didnt become the most powerful shadebound in around 6 months. I know this is fantasy, but come on.
And back to how stupid Artemius was. I figured out who this last king was ages and ages ago, It was very predictable. The servants told him. His father told him so ... how couldn't he figure it out? It doesn't pay to discredit your MCs just to keep a half-baked mystery going. Additionally, I don't understand what they were doing with his character. Everythingqbout him felt .. unfinished. I didn't particularly like him and definitely didn't like his twin. They and the rest of the army were almost complete nonfactors by the end. Had it not been for the peasant girl, they'd all have been dead, and the whole country subjugated
I usually like to finish all the books in a series i start, but im happy to wnd this one early. By the end of this book, I was wishing it would just be over.
Disappointing really

While Orsina is going supernova and saving the day, Artemio is given barely a minute of dialogue to show that he's even involved. What a slap in the face.
