Her destiny is to give her life to save the world... but what will she do when he will let it burn to save her? Since the appearance of a leech and the sudden growth of the Abyss, Nadiya has accepted her new role as Asentai’s Beata. Only now she’s desperate to earn the immense power she’s been blessed with. The sooner Nadiya can fulfill the prophecy and close the Abyss, the sooner Imperia is safe from the leeches and the expanse threatening to destroy them. As her powers and abilities grow, she is sent to Praesi where Commander Saeva, Prince Sulien’s aunt, takes over Nadiya’s training. The commander’s mysterious history and tumultuous relationship with the High Priest and Lateo is worsened as Saeva pushes Nadiya to her breaking point. Tensions rise between Prince Sulien and the city while every day leaves Nadiya incapacitated as she struggles to become strong enough to close the Abyss. As Nadiya and Lateo grow closer, she fears his feelings for her have grown dangerously out of control when there can be nothing more than friendship between them… especially when she will not leave the city alive. If sacrificing herself is the only way to deserve the power she’s been given and close the Abyss, will she be strong enough to succeed? Or will she fail and give her life for nothing? And if Lateo isn’t willing to let her go, what will he condemn them all to in order to save her life?
