But when division arises within the ranks of the Conatus, just what side of the coming war will they fall on? There to guide her is her mentor, Barrow Hess - deadly, powerful and enigmatic, whom Ember finds herself falling in love with. But Conatus holds many secrets, and Ember soon realises that the dangers she faces aren't just from recognisable enemies, but creatures from a netherworld she didn't know existed. Freedom from a marriage she doesn't want, freedom to exercise her unwomanly passions for weaponry and fighting. What he doesn't know is that Ember secretly craves the promise of freedom offered by the order. It's a debt her father is not happy about paying - determined to see his younger daughter married to a suitable husband, he tries everything in his power to stop Ember joining the order of knights. After a mysterious healer saved the life of Ember, and her mother, when she was just a baby, Ember was promised to the mysterious order Conatus.
