Cheyenne Summerlin has spent her life believing she was an outsider. Now she is beginning to understand that being different may be exactly what makes her powerful.
Her drow magic is growing stronger, but controlling it is becoming more important than ever. As portals begin appearing with increasing frequency, the conflict between the magical world and Earthside threatens to spill across the Border and into the lives of ordinary people.
O’gúl Crown is expanding its reach, using portals and powerful war machines to move its forces where they are needed. And the Crown wants something it cannot easily control: Cheyenne.
Her halfling blood makes her unique. Her connection to L’zar makes her dangerous. And the secrets hidden within the mysterious copper puzzle box may reveal a legacy that has been waiting generations for her to claim.
Even Corian cannot tell her everything.
Then L’zar gives Cheyenne a metal cuff capable of concealing the part of her identity that could put her in immediate danger. Wherever she is going next, he knows she must be protected from those who would recognize what she truly is.
But hiding who she is can only work for so long.
Cheyenne has learned to wield drow magic. Now she must learn what that magic was meant to awaken.
