That same spring, from the wealthy city-state of Seressa, famous for its canals and lagoon, come two very different people: a young artist traveling to the dangerous east to paint the grand khalif at his request-and possibly to do more-and a fiercely intelligent, angry woman, posing as a doctor's wife, but sent by Seressa as a spy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trading ship that carries them is commanded by the accomplished younger son of a merchant family, ambivalent about the life he's been born to live. And farther east a boy trains to become a soldier in the elite infantry of the khalif - to win glory in the war everyone knows is coming. As these lives entwine, their fates - and those of many others - will hang in the balance, when the khalif sends out his massive army to take the great fortress that is the gateway to the western world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105187119344,"sku":"2940170833177","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170833177_p0.jpg?v=1763719046","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170833177","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
