When the stars are watching, there is no escape... unless we become the "where." Aunia is on a desperate quest to find the sea-witch who may hold the truth of her father's fate-whether he yet lives or is lost forever-but every turn draws her deeper into conspiracy and danger. Haunted by betrayal and hunted not only by enemies, but by former allies, Aunia and Mathias must clear their names and stop Arch Vicar Bibb and his wererat army from starting a war and provoking prophecy's doom. Deadly enchantments rise. The Eldarghast tree is awake. And Aunia must decide how much she's willing to risk before Choice decides for her which world-mortal or faery-survives.
