"'Readers looking for warm-and-fuzzy fantasy need not apply—but those who crave dark, dangerous, powerful fiction had better strap in, bite down, and read SCARS.'

–Bradley Denton

 

The inhabitants of Barsaive made many sacrifices to survive the 500-year Scourge which ravaged their lush land. The noble Therans built elaborately warded undergorund kaers deep in the Earth, the city of Parlainth shifted to another plane, and the proud Elves of Blood Wood endured the excruciating Rite of Thorns.

Now the Scourge has ended; the metaplanar Horrors have begun to withdraw. Cities are rebuilt, and the peoples of Barsaive are starting to forget.

But Aina cannot forget. Aina carries the scars of the desperate choices she made five hundred years ago—choices which allowed her to survive, but which haunt her as relentlessly as the Horror that trails her every step.

Outcast, immortal, and alone, Aina must return to Blood Wood to gather the threads of her past which can set her free. She will use anything—and anyone—to escape her ancient pact with the Horror and his terrible gift.

If the Horror will let her . . .
