Lysander Frostbane was the most powerful archmage—until his lover and best friend betrayed him. Poisoned and stripped of his voice, he hides as a mute trickster in a traveling carnival. He wants nothing more than to disappear. Then a wolf-princess on the run crashes into his world. They fight, they flee, and against all odds, they survive. He chose oblivion. She gave him a reason to rise.
