The mission was a failure. Even though Zivah and Dineas discovered a secret that could bring down the empire, their information is useless without proof. Now, with their cover blown and their quest abandoned, their only remaining hope is to get home before Ampara brings the full might of its armies against their peoples. As Shidadi and Dara alike prepare for war, Zivah and Dineas grapple with the toll of their time in the capital. After fighting alongside the Amparans against his own kin, can Dineas convince the Shidadi—and himself—where his loyalties lie? After betraying her healer's vows in Sehmar City, can Zivah find a way to redeem herself—especially when the Dara ask her to do the unthinkable? And after reluctantly falling in love, what will the two do with their lingering feelings, now that the Dineas from Sehmar City is gone forever? And when Zivah's plague symptoms surface once again, she must decide how she'll define the life she has left.... How do you fight a war when the enemy is within?

With their cover blown and their identities revealed, Zivah and Dineas are on the run. Not only did they fail to bring down the emperor, but their betrayal has brought the full might of Ampara against their people. Now their only choice is to rejoin their kin and prepare for the oncoming war. As armies mobilize and fortifications rise, Zivah and Dineas grapple with the aftermath of their fateful mission. Dineas’s fellow Shidadi no longer trust him after his time in Ampara. And with his constant flashbacks—and lingering feelings of loyalty toward his former comrades—Dineas wonders if his kinsmen might be right. Meanwhile, Zivah faces growing pressure to betray her healer’s vows. Is it worth honoring the Goddess’s wishes if it means the destruction of all she knows? On top of that, she’s having flashes of fever—signs that her illness is returning to claim her. As the world around them threatens to collapse, Zivah and Dineas must decide how they feel about each other. Was the love and friendship they shared in Sehmar City an illusion, or is it strong enough to save them all?

But as they grow closer, they must find common ground to protect those they love.
