From the #1 bestselling author of the Fablehaven and Beyonders series comes an epic new fantasy set in a world where every child bonds with a spiritual guideโsome promising greatness and glory, while others, destruction and death. This deluxe hardcover edition features exquisitely designed sprayed edges complete with gold foil swords! Every Anoran child dreams of the day they will enter the sacred bonding hut and match with a guardianโa spiritual guide who grants magically enhanced abilities. A lucky few will bond with Advocates, who promise greatness and glory. Others will be tempted by forbidden offers from the Accursedโdangerous spirits who bring nothing but destruction and a penalty of death to any Anoran who chooses them. But when Mako discovers that the worst of these agents of chaos has returned to spread an ancient evil through the empire, he faces an unthinkable choice: Will he bond with one of the Accursed to gain the power to stop another? Halfway across the empire, Arden has no guardian and no prospects of adventureโฆuntil she infiltrates an underground criminal network to find her missing friend. Relying on her knack for sensing the truth through even the smoothest lies, Arden finds herself at the center of a sinister conspiracy that runs much deeper than she ever imagined. Soon Makoโs and Ardenโs fates collide, and together they must face bandit armies, dark secrets, and untold dangers to fight an enemy who could destroy all theyโve ever known.
