She was only a child when she tore open the veil between worlds and let death slip through.
Now, fifteen years later, the girl once blamed for unleashing a monster is the kingdom's most valuable prisoner. Feared for her untamed power and kept hidden away by a king with dark ambitions, she knows nothing of her past-only that the magic inside her is dangerous... and growing.
When a desperate escape leads her to Brigada, a mythical dwarven sanctuary thought lost to legend, she finds unexpected refuge-and an even more unexpected ally in a prince with secrets of his own. Slade, a warrior hiding royal blood, walks a razor-thin line between loyalty to a tyrant father and the quiet rebellion stirring beneath the surface.
As war brews and the kingdom begins to crumble under the weight of a returning terror, she must face the truth about what she is, and what the creature that once destroyed everything was really after. Because death isn't done with her yet.
