In the Outer Realms, they have found safety, but their homeland has not. Tyralt is under attack. When a friend from the past arrives to persuade Aurelia to rescue her country, she and Robert must weigh the hopes of a kingdom against their own failures, nightmares, and self-doubt. They decide to return. To defy both the king who is trying to steal their homeland and the usurping monarch who has always wanted Aurelia's death. But Aurelia and Robert know they are sacrificing far more than their own lives. If they make the wrong choice, with the freedom of an entire nation at stake, they may not find redemption. less
