Movida pela necessidade de proteger Atticus, seu irmão mais novo, Rhiannon adota uma vida errante, mudando-se constantemente e evitando permanecer muito tempo no mesmo lugar, enquanto tenta despistar aqueles que ainda a perseguem. Em uma dessas mudanças, porém, seu caminho cruza com duas figuras enigmáticas: um Rei das Sombras, envolto em mistérios e intenções ambíguas, e um Rei do Inferno, cuja oferta de aliança soa tão tentadora quanto traiçoeira. Entre decisões perigosas e alianças improváveis, Rhiannon descobre que a sobrevivência não é sua única luta - ela também precisará enfrentar os segredos de seu passado e as escolhas que definirão seu futuro.
