These four people are key.Īnd one of them will destroy us. Surgebinding and Shardwielding can return the magics of ancient days can become ours again. The last is the highprince, a warlord whose eyes have opened to the past as his thirst for battle wanes. The third is the liar, a young woman who wears a scholar’s mantle over the heart of a thief. The second is the assassin, a murderer who weeps as he kills. The first is the surgeon, forced to put aside healing to become a soldier in the most brutal war of our time.

Perhaps they saw that the heat and the hammer only make for a better grade of sword. Nothing, it appears, is more challenging to the souls of men than victory itself.
