All paths lead to the throne. Ann Valeran is the heir to the Archdruid, a spiritual leader to the five lands of Almara. But her destiny is shattered when her parents are killed by her elder brother Urien and his demon mother Orla. Framed for the murder of her parents, Ann becomes a wanted fugitive with a high bounty on her head. Accompanied by her younger brother Xander and her best friend Edward Rohn, her former bodyguard, the rogue trio travel in their native land of Caselhelm. Meanwhile, war has broken out in Caselhelm and magic has been banned by Orla, who now sits on the Archdruid’s throne. Ann, Ed and Xander work with the resistance to protect magic users from Orla’s dark clutches, all while striving to clear Ann’s name. Along the way, they meet people from their past whose intentions aren’t always clear. And deciding to trust them may doom them to an even worse fate. As Ann races across her land to claim what’s hers, she’ll realise one thing: the strongest magic of all… is the love of her family.

Urien has been defeated… but now there is a greater threat. Ann has barely escaped the wrath of the elders with her life and magic intact. It was all worth it. She has her brother back, but now another family member needs her help. Her grandmother, Mercury, is missing and an old enemy has taken control of her lands. Ann refuses to believe they’re too late. When she and the other rogues go to investigate, they discover Mercury is still alive and long-dead secrets are finally coming to light. Not only can she find her grandmother, but the answers they uncover could hold the key for why the elders have hunted her for so long.
