Desperate for answers about her transformation and her true heritage, Eva flees to her father's childhood home hoping to find family. Her mentor, Baccha, disappeared when she needed him most. She'll need his help to unite the people of Myre-- and to understand her burgeoning magic. Accompanied by her remorseful sister Isa, Eva journeys north to the Enclosures -- little more than prisons for Aketo's people -- searching to help in taking a last stand against their mother.

Sequel to: A river of royal blood.
