On the sixth day of Christmas, Solaris
gave to me... an entire epic fantasy with mystics, kings, half-bloods, and one
female stronger than them all. At first, King Charald uses his half-blood
mystic son in plans to destroy the mystics, who become Besieged, but not defeated. Rising to lead negotiations, the
powerful Imoshen gains the loyalty
and spying of the half-blood Sorne, but has to deal with threats from within
and without. Gaining an Exile for her people, Imoshen has to find
a way through the land of true-men, storms, hostile harbours, all to find her
people a place to stop running . This Christmas, follow the conflict between
peoples and within factions, and see how one female mystic leads her people to
a new home, a final Sanctuary.

From the
author of The King’s Bastard and The Chronicles of King Role’s Kin...
For nearly 300 years the mystics have lived alongside the true-men,
who barely tolerate them, until...
King Charald is cursed with a half-blood mystic son. Sorne is raised
to be a weapon against the mystics. Desperate to win his father’s respect,
Sorne steals power to trigger visions. Unaware King Charald plans their
downfall, the mystics are consumed by rivalry. Although physically stronger,
the males’ gifts are weaker than the females. Imoshen, the only female mystic
to be raised by males, wants to end the feud. But the males resent her power
and, even within her own sisterhood Imoshen’s enemies believe she is addicted
to the male gifts.
Sorne tries, but cannot win the respect of true-men. When he has a
vision of half-bloods in danger he has to ask himself where his loyalty lies.
Convinced he can destroy the mystics, King Charald plans to lay
siege to their island city. Will Imoshen win the trust of the mystic leaders
and, if she does, will she believe the visions of a half-blood?

lived among the true-men kingdoms of the Secluded Sea.
But Imoshen knows the mystics can’t run for ever. they need
somewhere to call home. They need... Sanctuary.
