Sought after answers are never as they seem.

When Kateya awakens with no memories, in an unfamiliar land, she knows two things for certain: she's in danger, and she's traveled back in time . . . again. Only this time, icy darkness lurks in the sky, revealing how different things truly are.

All magic demands balance.

Kateya's memories begin to surface, haunting her with a past-tainted by dark magic-carved into her skin. As raging embers of magic begin to burn within her, the King of Avyon realizes she's not only incredibly powerful, but a danger to everyone . . . including herself.

Alliances become weapons of war.

Past and present collide and bonds are forged through passion and hatred, forcing Kateya to question everything she believed she knew about those she loved. She must learn to harness the power rising within her, while determining who she can truly trust.

A fate written in the stars.

Harrowing truths are revealed that hold the power to not only alter the destiny of those prophesied, but change the future of the Vanaiyer Realm. As Kateya fights for freedom, she realizes not all knowledge is power and magic can't always change the inevitable-including the tides of war.

The darkness is creeping closer . . . will they be able to hold it off?
