Her fate is written, and it includes none other than the rebel Jonas. The impending storm signals the dark prophecy Timotheus warned her about. Meanwhile, bearing the child of a Watcher and feared by all, Princess Lucia travels across Mytica to find her family. Along with Nic, Felix, and the mysteriously resurrected Ashur, the contentious group agrees to cast aside old grudges-for now-and united against their common enemy: Amara. When Jonas arrives from Kraeshia, he is shocked to find that his rebel army now includes his sworn enemies. Selia is a powerful witch and claims she can help unlock the magic of the Kindred-if the visitors agree to her terms. In Paelsia, Magnus and Cleo reluctantly follow King Gaius to the home of his exiled mother, Selia. They believe in Amara, not knowing her grand promises are built on lies.

Since Lucia unleashed the fire Kindred, wreaking havoc throughout the land, Myticans have been looking for someone-anyone-they can trust. The ruthless Empress Amara of Kraeshia has taken the Mytican throne, and now uncertainty looms over the three kingdoms.
