The world was bursting at the seams with life and magic and prosperity. But one day, the gods disappeared... --- All her life, McKayla had been able to see past the Masquerade.

To save the only family she has left, Aurora must cross into another realm, trust an exiled knight, make a bargain with a thief, and fulfill a prophecy. If she isn't killed first. Tezaro is on a quest to find his brother's killer, but before he can get any answers, he is forced to bring a war-ending prophecy to the Steward of Armindia. Should he fail, not only will his brother's murder go unsolved, but it will lead to a genocide across the continent and reduce Armindia to smoldering ashes. Bound by fate and torn apart by circumstance, Aurora will let no one, including Tezaro, prevent her from rescuing her sister. Tezaro will not rest until Aurora, like it or not, is delivered to Armindia. Neither is willing to bend, at odds with what they want and what fate has written.
