Between the Rival Courts (The Fatetouched Duology #1)

The Prophecy

“If the Bear Arturus sires a son out of wedlock, his court will last no more than thirty summers. The thricefold spilling of maiden-blood will call forth the Usurper, who shall wage a great battle, turning the skies to black and the fields to stone. But should the Bear strike down the Usurper, from the rot of his corpse, a new Age will be born: the Time of Men.”
