Yet she finds herself filled with more questions than ever and as she begins to search for the answers she seeks, she finds others reaching for her, ready to sink their claws into her. When Sayr is ripped away from the politics of Court, she finds herself with no friends, no royals, and certainly no allies. She quickly finds herself in the center of an oncoming war between two rival kingdoms and a rebel group behind it all. Sayr must fight with more than weapons to bring about peace on the continent. But when the people she loves are fighting on opposing sides, Sayr must choose if she will save the ones she loves, or save the continent from total destruction.
