By Shannon Hale
Part of the The Books of Bayern series
A soldier's hidden talents may be the key to unraveling a deadly mystery in enemy lands.
Razo, an unlikely hero, joins a mission to Tira, Bayern's enemy. Despite feeling ordinary, he discovers a murder and befriends potential allies, including Lady Dasha. As tensions rise, Razo's unique skills might be the only hope to save his comrades. Can he embrace his talents and uncover the truth before it's too late?
In this beloved third book in the Books of Bayern, from New York Times bestselling author Shannon Hale, Razo must become the unlikely hero his country needs.Razo has never considered himself anything but ordinary–and certainly not a great soldier. So he’s sure it’s out of pity that his captain asks him to join an elite mission escorting the ambassador into Tira, Bayern’s greatest enemy. But when the Bayern arrive in the strange southern country, it’s Razo who discovers the first dead body. He is also the only Bayern able to befriend the right people–potential allies who can provide information about the ever-increasing murders–like the beautiful Lady Dasha. If Razo can embrace his talents, he might be the only one who can get the Bayern soldiers home alive. The third book in master storyteller Shannon Hale’s beloved Books of Bayern series is equal parts fantastical and romantic, with an unforgettable protagonist to root for at its center.
