Meilyr wakes, five years later, to find his homeland a snow-strewn battlefield.

Cyngalon is not as it once was, with Meilyr's brother leading the resistance against Khaim and the isles teetering on the edge of all-out bloodshed.

Osian rides the wildlands like a ghost, hunting his quarry – haunted and grieving.

Reunited with Meilyr, the two return to Khaim to prepare for their royal wedding as a show of unity across the kingdoms.

Meilyr and Osian must fight for a land that is stirring with dark forces and pain.

Their journey will take them from the gilded halls of Khaim to the deep and perilous wilds of Cyngalon, entreating with forces – both human and mythical – that they never could have imagined.

Meilyr's magic has never been so powerful, and an ancient voice speaks to him through his blood as he begins to uncover the truth of the prophecy that brought him back from death. And Osian struggles to piece back together his heart, which shattered in his chest five years ago…

In the fight for freedom and peace, what sacrifices are they willing to make - and what promises are they willing to break?
