Some inherit wealth. Some inherit power. Emyra inherited a secret. For years, Emyra has lived with unanswered questions about her mother's disappearance. No explanation. No body. No goodbye. Just a silence that everyone around her seems determined to protect. When Emyra begins her first year at Aurelia University, she expects a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by strange occurrences, unsettling secrets and people who seem to know things about her that they shouldn't. The deeper she digs, the more she begins to suspect that her mother's disappearance wasn't what she was told. And when Emyra discovers that someone at Aurelia knows the truth, she is forced to confront a world she never knew existed-a world of ancient secrets, dangerous alliances and things that should not be possible. But the more Emyra uncovers, the more she realises that her mother wasn't simply hiding the truth from her. She was hiding Emyra from it. And whatever her mother was running from... has finally found her.
