Seek the Traitor’s Son

From Veronica Roth, the legendary author of the Divergent series, Seek the Traitor's Son is a dazzling, epic tale of war, fate and devastating love.

The daughter of a bounty hunter.
The knight sworn to protect her.
And the prophecy that destroys their lives . . .

Elegy Ahn did not ask for destiny to find her. She's a soldier defending her small country against a powerful enemy: the Talusar, who worship a Fever that brings death to everyone it touches . . . except those it resurrects, forever changed. Rava Vidar is a Talusar general with a reputation for cruelty and triumph in equal measure. And when Elegy and Rava first meet, it’s to hear a prophecy that could apply to either of them.

It declares that either could carry their people to victory. But they won’t know who will triumph – not until it’s too late to change anything. And at the center of both of their fates is a man. A man who, Elegy is told, will bring her death. A man she’ll fall in love with.

In one day, Elegy’s old life is over. With the fate of nations hanging in the balance, she and Rava are destined to collide. And when they do, only one will be left standing. Elegy intends to make sure it’s her.

An extraordinary epic begins.
