Sometimes, the villain is just a villain. Sometimes, the villain becomes a hero. Other times, the villain becomes more unhinged…. After returning to Careny, Shayna struggles to control the Sluagh’s dark power within her, which she hasn’t been able to release. Her only hope is to travel to the Wastelands and retrieve a magic stone said to be able to help conduits destroy unwanted power. But things in the Wastelands are not what they seem, and with Ardwyn visiting her in her dreams, everything is about to get a lot more complicated. When an ancient power wakes, the world as they know it may cease to be, and if that happens, Barlow will be the least of their problems. Can’t a girl just catch a break without twisted magic, unwelcome dreams, and ancient evils to deal with? But with the fate of the realm on her shoulders and wicked magic threatening to consume her, Shayna will have to decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to become—to survive.
