Description:A usurped prince
prepares to take up the mantel of a deadly assassin and reclaim his
kingdom, his people, and his slain gods in this epic fantasy from a USA Today bestselling author.
Cyrus
was only twelve years old when his gods were slain, his country
invaded, and his parents—the king and queen—beheaded in front of him.
Held prisoner in the invader's court for years, Cyrus is suddenly given a
chance to escape and claim his revenge when a mysterious group of
revolutionaries comes looking for a figurehead. They need a hero to
strike fear into the hearts of the imperial and to inspire and unite the
people. They need someone to take up the skull mask and swords and to
become the legendary "Vagrant"—an unparalleled hero and assassin of
otherworldly skill.
But all is not as it seems. Creating the
illusion of a hero is the work of many, and Cyrus will soon discover the
true price of his vengeance.
