Premise:

The young viscount Ilio is a lunatic and he can smell evil in the air.

Sholo, the City Ranger, is a changeling child, and he has seen the stirrings of conspiracy in the woods.

Ilio and Sholo are brothers by blood, but when Ilio is sold as a baby to an earl in want of an heir, he grows up in princely luxury while his brother starves on the street.

Desperate to escape his abusive mother and make a name for himself, Sholo takes a post as the City Ranger. His job is simple, patrol the dark forest that borders their idyllic city, and if monsters appear…kill them.

When Ilio discovers the stirrings of evil in the forest and everyone dismisses his claims as the ravings of a young lunatic, he turns to his brother for help. And in turn they are sent to the home of the elusive and probably mad Zmaj, a man who is rumoured to be the son of a witch and an elf.

A conspiracy of evil is afoot, and if no one will believe Ilio, Sholo and Zmaj, they will have to deal with it themselves…

And face the brutal consequences.

When a political prisoner is released into Jean Verde’s care, with no idea of who he is or how he came to be imprisoned, terrible memories that were better left buried are dug up in both Chessy and Justice’s lives.

More secrets are about to be brought to light…and Justice may not survive when the most crucial one of all is resurrected.

Who is he really? And how far will the revolution go to destroy him once and for all?
