Lia and Rafe, imprisoned in the barbaric realm of Venda, have little hope of escaping and even less of remaining together.
Lia's former assassin, Kaden, has revealed to the Vendan Komisar that she has a magical talent out of desperation to spare her life, and the Komisar is much more interested in Lia than either of them anticipated.
In the meanwhile, Lia's long-held convictions are collapsing under her. Nothing is simple: there's Rafe, who betrayed her but gave up his freedom to keep her safe; there's Kaden, who intended to kill her but ended up saving her life; and there are the Vendans, who, although she had always thought of them as barbarians, she now knows were horribly mistreated by the kingdoms of Dalbreck and Morrighan. Lia, battling her background, her talent, and her own identity, will have to make difficult decisions that impact her nation, her people, and her own future.
