HER ONLY CHOICE IS TO CHANGE HER WORLD…

The leaders of her own country despise her kind. They assume that Salryc Luxx and every iliri crossbred are nothing more than expendable. But, if they can do the job, then the Conglomerate of Free Citizens is happy to use them. They win either way.

So they sent Sal to Anglia without pack. She can no longer hear their thoughts and can't smell her brothers. It's just her and Cyno killing their way across unending expanses of snow-covered mountains. Her mission is to assassinate the current king and replace him with someone sympathetic to the Conglomerate, but Sal wants more.

And she gets it. In a land where iliri are a myth, she's treated like a hero. Here, the people don't know they should hate her. All they know is that she may be the only thing standing between Anglia and the Terran Empire. To them, she may very well be their salvation.

If she's going to do this, she'll make sure at least one government on the continent supports her people. She just has to figure out how - without getting herself killed. Lurking deep in the icy wilderness may be the answer she needs. And it speaks her language.
