As Kiera and Connor move forward, more players in the dangerous game they find themselves entangled in come out of the woodwork...

And the stakes get higher when Kiera finally has to choose what she's willing to do when it comes to a throne she never thought she would have the chance to sit upon.

Kiera, Connor, Alyk, Henelce and Darian all face new challenges as they head into the mountains and an uncertain fate, the Aeroyn who lay claim to the Montes Gelu and its borders not so keen on the intruders as they follow the path to the cemetery at the end of the road they travel. Pride takes precedent in various ways, and treachery runs rampant as Eryce continues to plot his course that he hopes will bring Kiera into his sights. His plans are starting to change, and new ideas are making headway as the King of Rhonendar takes action to find a girl he thought long dead.

Especially now that he knows who she really is.

And what it could mean if he lets her live.
