The Undoing

Book 1 of the 'Testaments' series.

If you wish upon a shooting star, you may find a small iridescent stone in your palm. And if you carve into it the words of a dead tongue, you may well destroy the world.

For a thousand years, humans reigned unchecked. They subjugated, conquered, and consumed all in their path. Yet in the span of a 500-year war, the most feared race in history was annihilated. Their queen vanished, her daughters slaughtered, and their blood spills still into a world that rejoices at their extinction.

In the heart of Valdemar forest, Hadassah-the last of a dying human line-lives unaware of the carnage tied to her name. Until the night her home burns and she is forced to flee into a realm that sees her kind as tyrants at best, vermin at worst.

Disguised as a harmless rabbit, Hadassah travels with a beastman whose charm hides a shadowed past, a woman so beautiful kingdoms bend before her, a man whose strength humbles her, and a Harbinger forged for her protection alone.

Through the power struggles of the formidable Vortigern Rabbit family, Hadassah begins to see the world's fractures: grudges older than empires, histories written in lies, and a hunger for power that spares no race.

Confronted by the cruelty of both beastmen and humans, she must face the question she fears most:

Who deserves death, and who shall stand?
