Torn from the sweet embrace of victory and freedom, Jeniche and Alltud find themselves once more in the clutches of the Occassans. They are borne across the ocean to the city of Amparo in the very heart of their enemy's territory. There, not knowing each other's fate, they are imprisoned by the Order and face an uncertain future. Yet in that darkness, Jeniche finally learns to unlock the power that others have torn the world apart to find. And as Occassus descends into civil conflict, she stands face-to-face with the ultimate enemy - herself.
