After the King’s shocking murder, cracks in the fragile peace Elspeth had been fiercely protecting start to spread. She must rely on her brother and the very person who betrayed them for her own survival while explosive secrets start to surface.

Pietr, having barely survived the same attack that took the King, is faced with an impossible choice, which will impact not only his fate, but the fate of the kingdom.

Milo is forced to flee his homeland, his fate ending up in the hands of a most unexpected and untrustworthy new ally. Adrift, he longs to return home to his people, and the only woman he’s ever loved.

Solinda, abandoned by her family and at risk of imprisonment and execution, joins the heroes in their struggle, she’s offered the promise of a fresh start—if she can only put aside her past.

How will they survive the coming wave of chaos hurtling towards them? Who can they trust? And who will betray them further?
