Publisher's Synopsis
Carissa Darnell has been taken prisoner by her deadliest enemy, Deacon Morrow. Forced to play his insidious games, she knows one wrong move could get her killed. As the darkest aspects of her magic are revealed, Carissa wonders what the price of escape will be-and who she will be once she does.
Sebastian Darnell has been crowned in his sister's absence, but his most loyal supporters will stop at nothing to secure his claim. Basium threatens to become a battleground once more as tensions run high between Sebastian and the formidable Bellona Lenore, Lady of Theron and guardian of Zephyr Morrow, Sebastian's nephew.
Lilith Marwan is a woman with a vision-the end of the Morrow empire. Fully committed to the rebellion in Harith, she is joined by an unlikely ally whose presence will change the game as they know it.
The time of uncertainty is over. As war looms over the continent of Razmara, the battle lines are being drawn. The only question is who will be left standing when the dust settles, and whether a better or worse world will rise in its wake.
