Cheyenne Summerlin thought the worst part of prophecy was knowing that destiny existed.
Now she is discovering something far more frightening:
destiny can involve the people she loves.
As the consequences of Ba’rael's reign continue to spread, Bianca remains trapped by a curse that Cheyenne cannot simply overpower or magically break. Every attempt to save her mother leads to another question about the forces shaping Ambar’ogúl and Earthside.
The answers draw Cheyenne deeper into ancient magic, forgotten promises, and a prophecy whose meaning reaches far beyond one family.
L’zar knows more than he wants to reveal. Corian understands more than he says. And Cheyenne is beginning to realize that the adults who have spent years protecting her may also have been protecting secrets from her.
For once, raw power is not enough.
Cheyenne must learn to understand the larger design before she can change it.
A prophecy may tell you what is coming. It does not tell you what it will cost to stop it.
