What the eyes can't see, the fire will reveal. For Asrar—a refugee shapeshifter—lying is the only way to survive. Hunted as a curse by the zealots known as the Eyes of Xikani, Asrar has spent a lifetime hiding their true nature. Then, when the Faces of Fire march upon their nation, the flames of holy war threaten to consume all. Forced to reveal their shifting identity to protect their home, Asrar becomes a threat to the invaders' ideals. Now an outlaw and a prophet, Asrar must lead a desperate band into the untamed forest in search of the Cenote of Echoes—a mythic refuge that offers their only hope of freedom. But to survive the journey, the shapeshifter must answer a burning question: How can you fight for yourself when you've been playing a role your whole life?
