Publisher's Synopsis
Just days ago, seventeen year old Katie Matthews found herself in the magical world of Ysryiia, where she learned the madman Iidaarzaan has been stealing human souls to fuel his immortality for almost two hundred years. Now, it is up to her to end his villainous rule and put a stop to the terrible war looming on the horizon. Unfortunately, as she strives to become the warrior her title requires her to be, she soon finds that she is being pulled in two very different directions: worry about what will become of her father, currently imprisoned in the fortress Zaarzwmeth, or fully claim her role as Lyryiiel--Bringer of Hope--and forget all else that might hold her back. But how can she possibly fulfill the destiny the Covenant has laid out for her if it means sacrificing the soul of her own father?"
