Publisher's Synopsis
Weeks have passed since Ariana and Alec made their daring escape from Kellen's prison. But danger still looms in the distance. The guilt of his past weighs heavily on Alec's shoulders, and his secrets only push Ariana further away. As they travel through unknown lands and encounter multiple threats, their biggest challenge might be trusting one another.
The outside world continues on, despite the danger Ariana is in. The Duillaine insist they are taking every measure possible to locate her, but their actions betray that claim. Despite the danger and the war closing in around them, all of Anscombe seems to be more interested in the upcoming Imbolc festival and Terrena's betrothal than rescuing Ariana. Well...not everyone. Frustrated with relying on the Duillaine to save her twin, Zelene makes a plan of her own. To her surprise, she finds an eager ally in Rhaya. But Zelene's plans go awry when she finds herself with a new ability, a mysterious new friend, and more enemies within the walls of Anscombe than she thought.
