Welcome to Litsy!

Everyone thinks Eli is afraid of the dark, and they re right. But it s not because he can t see in the dark; it s because he can. After his father is murdered by kingsguard mice, Eli is tortured and condemned to death. With the help of Tira-Nor s old seer, AlBaer, Eli escapes his executioners and discovers that his mother, who was sold into slavery in Cadrid years before, may still be alive. Finding and saving her becomes his passion, but can he survive slavery, cruel taskmasters, foreign armies, the hatred of his own people, and even death itself? AlBaer can t or won t protect him from the supernatural evil that stalks him, and Eli must try to unravel the seer s curse alone."
