Awakening (Obsidian #1)

A war fought for peace.
A former slave who trades away his freedom.
An oracle tormented by his visions.
A wife who lives to kill her husband.
A half blood son born from hatred.
A tyrant who fights for unity.
A girl destined to end the war.
A sadistic bitch called Fate who breaks them all.

Seven broken heroes, born on both sides of the war between an empire and a nomadic race of the desert, must survive being tossed into the midst of chaos and forced to decide what they treasure more: loyalty to their lands, or what they hold dearest to their hearts.
