In this thrilling sequel to the magical and mystifying Forged for Destiny, Raul has a choice: embrace his fake destiny as the savior king or send his people on a path to certain doom.

Cursed with the knowledge that his destiny as the hero of Estis is a lie, Raul still tries his best to lead a small rebellion. But after several defeats in battle, low morale, and people leaving left and right, he’s almost ready to give up his claim to throne and let what’s left of his rebellion fend for themselves.

Just when he’s about to reveal the lie that began everything, Raul’s mother returns to the rebel camp with stories of an ancient dagger that could return hope to their cause. And the prophecies show that if they manage to find it, the tides of war would turn in their favor. It’s too good of a chance to pass up, and Raul leaves with only Valens, Prisca, and Yasmi in tow to search the mountains for the dagger that could save them.
