Synopsis
With
her greatest enemy dead, and on her way to be united with the family she’s been
stolen from long ago. Yelena should be pleased. But although she has gained her
freedom, she once again finds herself alone – separated from her lover Valek
and suspected as a spy for her reluctance to conform to Sitian ways.
Despite
the turmoil, she’s eager to start her magic training – especially as she’s been
given one year to harness her power or be put to death. But her plans take a
radical turn when she becomes embroiled in a plot to reclaim Ixia’s throne for
a lost prince – and gets entangled in powerful rivalries with her fellow
magicians.
If
that wasn’t bad enough, it appears her brother would love to see her dead.
Luckily, Yelena has some old friends to help her with all her new enemies...
