J Kyle Turner: Company of Ghosts, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Born in the final year of a civil war that claimed her mother's life, Jalina grew up with more questions than her quiet father was willing to answer. When a visiting professor named Andza hints that he knows more history than he's allowed to teach, she leaves school in order to learn more. Together, they uncover the secrets of the Ghosts, a group of heretics who broke away from the Kerran Order and used forbidden magic to place their own ruler on the throne.

For the new king, desperate to heal a nation ravaged by war, this secret would be enough to challenge his rule and plunge the realm into another war of succession. For the Order, acknowledging the Ghosts' involvement would refute their thousand-year claim of political neutrality and could mean the end of their faith. When the Order begins hunting down the surviving Ghosts, Jalina must decide what she's willing to risk in order to uncover the truth-and what to do with the truth when she finds it.
