Etarla can never return to the mundane village life she once embraced. Not when the path into the Domus now lives within her chest. Not when she masquerades as the powerful beingwhose strange eyes and knowledge she bears. And not when betrayal has strained her budding connection with the fierce Territory leader who broadened her world and awakened feelings she had never known.
While Etarla has reunited with Harthon, they’re only allied in wanting to access the life-saving resources within the Domus, which continues to deplete their divided land. But the way to salvation is fraught with challenge and treachery. When one threat is put to rest, new ones arise, both at Harthon’s Citadel and on the journey ahead. The line between friend and enemy is shaded gray, and strange happenings raise new questions about Etarla’s inherited knowledge.

And as Etarla searches for her footing, she finds herself ensnared by yet another trial—this one of the heart. For Harthon is not as unfeeling as he pretends to be, and the bond between them is very much alive.
