A mage and a lost prince journey together in this magical and romantic sequel to Asperfell. Finally free of the prison Asperfell, Briony and Prince Elyan venture northward in search of a rumored cave wherein lies their only hope of returning home to the kingdom of Tiralaen. What they discover instead is an impossible kingdom of opulence and decadence beyond her wildest imagining. Here, an ancient goddess is about to awaken once more, and she has never forgiven Briony's people for their intrusion into this world, nor the centuries of bloodshed that followed. Caught in a deadly web of secrets and lies that stretches across generations, Briony holds the fate of two kingdoms in her hands. To leave this new world behind is to condemn its people to anguish and death. But to stay and fight, Briony must abandon her home and everyone she's ever loved--including Elyan. To save one kingdom, the other must fall.
