Of Steel and Straw

In the kingdom of Nivo, dark times have come. The inhabitants have forgotten the Old God and the Guardians who protected them from the ghosts of darkness for centuries, and now they worship the Silent Gods, whose will is executed by the cardinal, masking cruelty with faith.

Charlotte Sand is destined to help the souls of the dead find peace, but everything changes when the cardinal's guards take away her most precious possession. In her fight for justice, she turns to the Guardian, whose heart has been kept for many years in a straw effigy. And no one, not even Captain of the Guard Luke de Montaigne, will stop Charlotte.

This is the first book of an exciting duology.
