The war has begun, and both sides demand Diem’s loyalty—or her death.

After a disastrous coronation, Diem finds herself caught in the middle of the conflict between the Descended and the Guardians. With her newfound allies, including the man she’s falling for, on one side, and the mortals she’s vowed to protect on the other, Diem must navigate a delicate path to save the people she loves—even from one another.

As the mystery of her unusual heritage begins to unfold, Diem and Luther are thrust into an unexpected journey across the realms. The answers they seek may hold the key to winning the war, but uncovering them will force Diem to confront painful truths about her mother, her bloodline, and her destiny.

Meanwhile, the Crowns have set their sights on Diem. Some could become her greatest allies—while others want her dead. To bring an end to their tyrannical rule, Diem must distinguish between friends and foes, risking everything to build an army of her own.

But a powerful force in the north has plans that could alter everything…
