For the lives-for the very souls-of her people, she must succeed within a single day, or her homeland will be destroyed.   ALONE AGAINST AN EMPIRE.When Yash of Zeltah arrives in the fortress city of Honaq, she is greeted as a barbarian, a simple pawn. Her marriage to prince Chej has been arranged, they say, to avert war. Yet she knows the truth, for the armies already ravage the land.   A skilled and deadly assassin, there is more to Yash than any might suspect. Before another day can pass, she must defeat the masters of the nine towers-the plagues, magics, and monsters they control, the soldiers they command. Without raising an alarm, she must kill all who oppose her-even the immortal emperor. The lives and souls of Zeltah, the people and the land upon which they live, all depend on it.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581698437298,"sku":"9781789095500","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789095500.jpg?v=1737626651","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789095500","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
