Short Summary

Readers follow Odessa as she is hunted, kidnapped, and pushed past every limit she thought she had, all while protecting a young girl who depends on her. A second point of view from a mysterious woman named Caspia adds an entirely new layer to the world of Calandra and its ancient magic. Between political tension, monster lore, and a romance that keeps simmering even through separation, this sequel raises the stakes far beyond the first book. By the end, readers are left with answers to old questions and plenty of new ones heading into book three.
