Grey Flynn has dedicated her life to her mage, Kier. She will be his blade on the battlefield, his healer and protector. The deep well of raw power inside her is Kier’s to wield. They are bound together by blood and magic, but there is one truth Grey dare not reveal . . . not even to Kier.
When a quest to protect the child of an enemy kingdom pulls them into a dangerous mission, Grey will need to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to protect her secret.
For Grey is no ordinary magical well, and if she dies, all magic dies with her.

"The Second Death of Locke has the 'intelligent truthfulness' that LeGuin said was so essential to a fantasy story. It’s smart and engaging, its characters and its world building so vivid, I could smell the mildew on the army tents. It’s a rich exploration of the way the ties of love and friendship can be complicated, the way the sacrifices we make can be easier to accept than the sacrifices others make for us. It was impressive and transporting."Meghan Whalen Turner, author of The Thief
