BOOK II "...I know you're well-intended and very skilled at your practice, no matter what or who you are. But you're not stable and you are certainly no queen." Haunted by blood, betrayal, and her own guilt, Raena finds herself imprisoned in a strange land full of creatures who used to inhabit her dreams: myrpeople, harpies, nymphs, and faeries alike. But things take an even more sinister turn once she comes face-to-face with a power-hungry enemy that won't stop until every god and creature is within its control. With growing allies and secrets waiting to be unveiled around every corner, Raena must journey across ruins and cities, harness new powers, and join the fight to save her home. If they fail, there will be no escape for anyone. Not the even the gods themselves.

Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now, she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Ninety-Five- all medically and legally judged as perfect. Entering this new life Hannah has an impossible decision to make which puts not only hers, but the lives of everyone she cares about at great risk.
