The stakes have never been higher for Magnus and Cleo, who are brought together by a life or death decision that will lock their fates and change the course of the kingdom forever. The Rebels forge ahead. Princess Cleo slays with sweetness and a secret that might control Lucia's magic as she and vengeful Jonas lead the hunt for the all-powerful Kindred. The Kraeshians join the fray. Ashur and Amara, the royal siblings from the vast kingdom across the Silver Sea, prove to be just as ruthless as they are charming as they manipulate their way to victory. The Watchers follow Melenia out of the Sanctuary. They ally, in the flesh, with King Gaius, who vows to use Lucia's powers to unveil the Kindred. And which side will Prince Magnus choose, now that everyone he's been betrayed by everyone he's ever loved?
