Shad is alive. When Emma split her soul in two, giving one half to Shad and keeping the other, she had no idea of the pain and the ache it would cause within herself. There was only one hope to restore Shad’s soul so that Emma and Shad could be together, and that hope was on Terra. Stepping into another world full of strange stories, beautiful castles, haunting forest, unexplained magic, broken people, rampant soullessness, and beings with the ability to see the future, Emma soon discovers there is more that needs saving than just her and Shad, and their melodies. As Emma starts to discover just exactly what it means to be an ancient Heir of the first kingdom, she realizes that the power to save Shad rests inside of her, only she has no idea how to use it—and how to access her ability has been kept a secret for hundreds of years. Deciding to leave the boy she loves in order to find a way to save him may just be one of the hardest things she has ever done. But even if Emma learns how to use her gift to save Shad, is it too late for them to be together? Is her fate really tied to Ryker in a way that can't be changed? And as Tarick sends soulless to murder and corrupt the people of the blessed lands, and as an army grows in the second kingdom to defeat the corrupt, Emma learns that, maybe, what she personally desires isn’t what matters most. Maybe defeating Tarick once and for all is her duty. Maybe Emma was never supposed to get her happily ever after, afterall. Maybe, claiming the first kingdom’s throne and taking back what was stolen from her family was more important than being with the man she loves. One thing was for sure, Emma wasn't going to let Tarick ruin any more lives than he already had if she could do something about it. Even if she couldn't get her happy ending, she would make sure everyone else got theirs. “Together we rise, or together we fall.”
