This standalone companion novel returns to Bradley P. Beaulieu's
Song of Shattered Sands epic fantasy universe Ceda is the youngest
pit fighter in the history of Sharakhai. She's made her name in the
arena as the fearsome White Wolf. None but her closest friends and
allies know her true identity. But this all changes when she
crosses the path of Rumayesh, an ehrekh, a sadistic creature forged
aeons ago by the god of chaos. The ehrekh are desert dwellers, but
for centuries Rumayesh has lurked in the dark corners of Sharakhai,
combing the populace for human "jewels" that might interest her.
Some she chooses to stand by her side, until she tires of them and
discards them. Others she abducts to examine more closely, leaving
them ruined, worn-out husks. Ceda flees the ehrekh's attentions,
but that only makes Rumayesh covet her more. Rumayesh grows
violent, threatening to unmask Ceda as the White Wolf-but the
danger grows infinitely worse when she turns her attention to
Ceda's friends. As Ceda fights to protect the people dearest to
her, Rumayesh comes closer to attaining her prize, and the struggle
becomes a battle for Ceda's very soul.
