No allies. No memory. No chance. When Johanna wakes on a deserted island chain, bereft of all memory and surrounded by the bodies of people dressed just like her, she must piece together how they were brought to this desolate region. The sole survivor of their group, she'll need to rely on her wits to fend off wild predators, survive natural disasters, and make a swim across open ocean if she is going to survive. Far from home, and hunted by the vicious, inhuman soldiers of the Augrahl Imperium, Johanna must find a way to remember her past. If she can piece together the flickers of memory which surface in her sleep, she might yet learn how to control the unpredictable and destructive power emanating from her hands. But even if she remembers, does she dare use it to save herself? Or was this strange power responsible for killing her companions and marooning them here in the first place? The Path of Pride is a stand-alone prequel to The Destroyer's Wrath saga, set five hundred years before the main storyline, and can be read as a self-contained novel.
