Over a year after Lyrani and Nash freed themselves and their kingdom from Queen Rayn's vicious grasp, the realm is still hostile territory for the elf king. Once again, Lyrani's latest mission takes her to Vlitavia Palace, where she learns of the half-elves' recent attempts on King Nash's life. Her assignment is straightforward: track down the halflings, negotiate with them if they're amenable, and eliminate them if they remain a threat. Accompanied by a belligerent junior agent on a treacherous journey into the uncharted northern lands, Lyrani is greeted by challenges at every corner. Only her love for Nash forces her to stand against all odds. But it's not long until a dreadful discovery leads to the terrifying realization that Nash is in far greater danger than anyone imagined. So begins a desperate race against time. If the stars aren't on Lyrani's side, she may just lose the ruler of her land and her heart forever.
