K. T. Pike: Catching Qat, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Bound by blood and ancient markings, strangers forge a shared destiny.

Twenty years ago, Qrodin found himself abandoned in an unfamiliar city after his mother was murdered and his twin was abducted. Unable to forget the past, he never stopped looking for his sibling-or for the killer who stole everything from him.

Meanwhile, Qat woke up on a pirate ship at the age of eleven with no memory and no family. The only way forward was learning to follow in the footsteps of the captain. After all, becoming an assassin is easy when you have nothing to lose.

When the estranged twins find themselves in the same tavern twenty years later, Qat is brought face-to-face with a missing past, and Qrodin ends up with more questions than answers about the mystery surrounding their mother's death.

To unravel the events of that night, they need each other. The only problem is, one of them needs to get out of town fast. The two hitch a ride with a traveling party-a mysterious elf with a past she can't talk about and magic she can't control, a monk who only speaks with his hands (and his fists), a dwarf with a battleaxe and an attitude; and a sweet little archer, who may be tiny, but has a knack for cooking up just what they need. As they race across the country, they discover a shared, powerful legacy-that of the Drakkaen Nakkla.

The quest to outrun pasts, unravel ancient mysteries, and embrace their true purpose has only just begun.
