After hundreds of years of peace, the echoes of
war stir throughout Demir once more. Betrayal
from within the southern kingdom of Artume
creates a new and violent regime. Cress and the
other members of the Imperi prepare to
intervene, secretly embedding themselves
amongst the traitor king’s inner circle.
The future of Cambria hinges on Cress controlling
her newly discovered ability—but
all power comes at a cost.
Can she master dark wielding, or will she be claimed
by the very darkness she seeks to control?
Trace promises to atone for his betrayal, while
Varro vows to remain by Cress’s side. A reckoning
of the heart will come to pass, and lives hang in
the balance.
Torn between the mating bond and a future she
did not choose, Cress must decide if she will bend
to the will of fate—or forge her own destiny.
