A usurped prince prepares to take up the mantle of a deadly assassin and reclaim his kingdom, his people, and his slain gods in this epic fantasy from a USA Today bestselling author.
Cyrus was only twelve years old when his gods were slain, his country invaded, and his parents—the king and queen—beheaded in front of him. Held prisoner in the invader's court for years, Cyrus is suddenly given a chance to escape and claim his revenge when a mysterious group of revolutionaries comes looking for a figurehead. They need a hero to strike fear into the hearts of the imperial and to inspire and unite the people. They need someone to take up the skull mask and swords and to become the legendary "Vagrant"—an unparalleled hero and assassin of otherworldly skill.
But all is not as it seems. Creating the illusion of a hero is the work of many, and Cyrus will soon discover the true price of his vengeance.

      Dalglish's latest (after Voidbreaker, 2021) is an epic fantasy full of assassin rebels, otherworldly warriors, and slain deities. A fanatic, monotheistic empire has reached the shores of the small kingdom of Thanet, and soon the king and queen are murdered, leaving 12-year-old Cyrus an orphan. Seeking to forcefully convert all inhabitants, the invaders slaughter the island's gods, further plunging its people into desperation and chaos. When Cyrus escapes the clutches of his captors, he's faced with a chance to avenge his parents' death and become a savior to the oppressed. But the Everlorn Empire rules with an iron fist, using zealotry and unearthly gifts to keep terrified nations under control. Every bloody battle won makes the Vagrant Prince a symbol of rebellion and hope, but his enemies won't give up easily. This dark adventure will hook genre fans with its detailed world building, strong characters, and gory, action-packed scenes. Readers who enjoy Mark Lawrence and Erika Johansen will appreciate Thanet's masked, sword-carrying hero and rebel team of misfits, eagerly anticipating a continuation to Dalglish's new series.
