"Everyone from Jalard knew what a bloodoath was. Legendary
characters in the tales people told to their children often made
such pacts with the gods. By drawing one's own blood whilst
speaking a vow, people became 'Bloodsworn'. And in every tale where
the oath was broken, the ending was always the same. The Bloodsworn
died." It has been twelve years since The War of Ashes, but
animosity still lingers between the nations of Sharma and
Gavendara, and only a few souls have dared to cross the border
between them. The villagers of Jalard live a bucolic existence,
nestled within the hills of western Sharma, and far away from the
boundary which was once a warzone. To them, tales of bloodshed seem
no more than distant fables. They have little contact with the
outside world, apart from once a year when they are visited by
representatives from the Academy who choose two of them to be taken
away to their institute in the capital. To be Chosen is considered
a great honour... of which most of Jalard's children dream. But
this year the Academy representatives make an announcement which is
so shocking it causes friction between the villagers, and some of
them begin to suspect that all is not what it seems. Just where are
they taking the Chosen, and why? Some of them intend to find out,
but what they discover will change their lives forever and set them
on a long and bloody path to seek vengeance...
