Sequel to "Hope's Curse". Hope unbroken; will untamed; the fate of all the worlds hangs in the balance. After fleeing Iode, Hope finds herself in a new world populated by desperate people on the brink of starvation. Closed off from other realms, they feel sheltered and detached from the Conclave and the hunters, but Hope's arrival marks the start of many changes. Grieving and alone, Hope must face new challenges and gather new allies. The balance of power is shifting, and new forces are joining the fight.
