Having earned the affection of two influential rulers and shattered the ancient curses that tormented the six realms, Isla’s mysterious powers remain largely unexplained.

As looming dangers threaten to engulf Lightlark and hidden secrets from Isla’s past resurface, she must grapple with a painful choice. Isla faces the ultimate test—balancing her devotion to her people with the dangerous desires of her own heart.
