Publisher's Synopsis
Orphaned siblings Jarrod and Whisper Thornn grew up as "mercy kids" at the powerful Holy Temple of the One Goddess. Devout, law-abiding Jarrod became a loyal Temple Guardian, whereas restless, unscrupulous Whisper escaped to an apprenticeship with a rich thief as soon as she came of age. For years, they have barely seen or needed each other. But when circumstance brings them back together, Whisper joins Jarrod and his companions on a harrowing journey to seal a breach in the magical Boundary that has long protected their land from the apocalyptic influence of the Blight. Together, they must battle life-sucking wraiths and face loss and betrayal as they hurtle toward a fateful encounter at the Boundary that will change both their lives forever.
