For Scarlett Prynne, the fight against the Luminous Veil has never been just about herself. It began with missing students, mysterious magical metal, dangerous collars, and a secret organization operating from the shadows.
Now the pieces have finally come together.
Camus has been preparing for the moment when the collars will give him influence far beyond the people forced to wear them. His plan is designed to turn other people's power, wealth, knowledge, and connections into tools he can control.
Scarlett and her allies know they cannot wait any longer.
The Witches on Wheels mobilize. The Spell Riders prepare for battle. Amber tracks the enemy. Lin stands beside Scarlett. Runeclaw watches for the danger no one else can see.
And Scarlett prepares for the most dangerous confrontation of her life.
The final confrontation takes her to an ancient plateau, a place steeped in ritual, power, and blood. There, beneath a sky filled with stars, Scarlett finally faces the man who has been manipulating events from behind the scenes.
Camus believes power belongs to those strong enough to seize it.
Scarlett believes power comes with responsibility.
Only one of them will walk away.
One witch. Two worlds. One destiny.
