Seit sie herausgefunden hat, wer ihren Vater ermordet hat, ist Adare - die Tochter des annurischen Kaisers Sanlitun - auf der Flucht, der Unbehauene Thron ist ihren Feinden in die Hände gefallen. Gleichzeitig verfolgen Adares Brüder, Valyn und Kaden, ihre eigenen Pläne: Valyn geht ein Bündnis mit den verfeindeten Barbarenhorden aus dem Norden ein, und Kaden wandelt auf uralten magischen Pfaden, um das Geheimnis zu ergründen, das Annur seit Jahrhunderten vor dem Bösen beschützt.

Having learned the identity of her father's assassin, Adare flees the Dawn Palace in search of allies to challenge the coup against her family.

As armies prepare to clash, the threat of invasion from barbarian hordes compels the rival forces to unite against their common enemy.

Pyrre isn't sure she's ever been in love.
