Product Description
by Jessica Jeannine (Author)
Icarus was only a child when the Order found him alone in the streets of Jakara. Raised as a higher class child of the Ordinem, he can hardly remember who he was before their code, only catching a glimpse of himself in the judgmental eyes of those around him, and the words of the shadows that hang around his shoulders.
But when a fire-wielding girl from the outskirts appears in the city on ceremony day, knowing the secrets the boy holds and refusing to be frightened by them, Icarus is forced to confront the possibility that everything he has come to believe is a lie.
Struggling to find the truth, Icarus catches word that the Ordinem has made plans to use a prisoner of Trellis in a battle he no longer understands. And when a choice he makes in the chaos seemingly results in tragedy, he is forced to make a decision that will change the lives of everyone around him.
Set in a world where the veil between realms has been torn open-where the ultra-powerful are possessed by a darkness that seeks destruction, and Grim, able to see and control souls, are hunted in every nation-Icarus is the first book in a high-stakes story about the secrets we carry, the wars we wage, and the bonds that keep us together.
