Until she masters her dormant magic, it’s too dangerous for him to transform her. To claim both her legacies, she must return to the land that holds the secrets of her power: the mortal kingdom where she was once powerless.

Most dangerous of all, the necromancer known as the Collector lies in wait, planning to use Cassia for his mysterious ends. When the moment of Cassia’s transformation arrives, there will be no turning back. Can the Gift of eternal life from Lio’s blood save her from the necromancer, master of death?
