Three stars have reappeared in the night sky, a beacon above Auros. Heralded as the bringer of this new age of light, Zephyr must reconcile who she is with the leader she is trying to become as the rebel forces are brought low by a virus that leaves the Gifted near powerless.
Half a country away, Bowen Starling spends his days pretending to be someone he hates, his nights in a cold, lonely cell. Music being his only solace, the vicious cycle chips away at his soul until one night he hears a new voice in the cell next to his.
With Jasper leaving to rally the Feiwyn elves, Bennet spiraling into addiction, and Saria being pulled apart by family and responsibilities, Zephyr is on her own as she tries to become the symbol her people need.

Caldorin
A girl raised by a ghost. A prince swallowed by exile. A kingdom that kills its miracles before they can even cry. Isolde walks the blood-slick streets of Rindek, a city of silence and ruin, where fire-born fae are executed before their first breath and rebellion is just another word for treason. She's a blade in the dark-silent, swift, loyal. Or so they think. By night, she breaks the very laws she enforces, smuggling the condemned to the fabled isle of Sepulkrin-a myth wrapped in fog and storm. No one returns. No one knows if it still exists. Not even her. But secrets have teeth, and history doesn't stay buried forever. When Victor-the exiled prince with eyes of war and winter-steps out of the shadows, Isolde's carefully constructed world begins to collapse. Because he knows what she's done. Because he remembers the revolution their fathers died for. Because he's come to finish what was started. And this time, the dead are watching. In a world ruled by blood and betrayal, how long can you hide what you are before it burns you from the inside out?
