Darian’s extraordinary abilities have made her indispensable to the Shaede Nation, as well as their king, Alexander Peck.

As she digs into Anya’s past, Darian discovers deeply buried secrets—and a startling link between Tyler and the assignment that could destroy the mystical connection that binds them... “An absolutely awesome book. I honestly have never read anything like this series and every book leaves me wanting more. These are brilliant books filled with brilliant characters written by a really talented author.
