Will you be fast enough?A lost girl with a gift for violence, propelled by nothing but a pair of fast legs and relentless rage, Constanter is running. From the farm she grew up on in a remote part of the Western Lorian empire. From the family, the life she can never return to. Constanter runs east, away from her small world tucked between a road and a lake, and toward the distant war she knows only from the tales travelers-a twenty-year long conflict, opposing the Western and Eastern halves of the empire.Mistaken for a boy after she stole the gear and trousers of a dead soldier, she is captured and drafted by a band of mercenaries whose leader recognizes her innate gift for speed and agility. Her face hidden under a mask, Constanter surrenders to the anger she wears like a second skin and becomes Silverlegs, a legendary killer, an uncontrollable weapon in the hands of power-hungry rulers and religious fanatics. As the Western empire spirals into madness in the name of the One God, Constanter will have to choose what she truly fights for, before Silverlegs's rage leads her down the road to hell...
