Noreena Fallyn has faced more than anyone her age ever should-grieving her mother's tragic death, grappling with newfound abilities, and uncovering the hidden truths of her family. Now, with Zachariah by her side, no longer keeping his distance as he heals from his own brush with death, Nora is thrust deeper into the heart of the magical world. Together, they journey to a place where her destiny within this community will be forged and the missing fragments of her story will finally fall into place.
Guided by her family's mentor, Nora unravels the reasons behind the heavy weight she bears-the duty to keep order in a fractured society and the truth of why only she holds the power to do so. But with these answers come revelations far greater than she ever imagined.
Power, however, comes at a price, and enemies wait in the shadows. As Nora continues to recover from the trauma of her abduction, she must uncover those who seek to destroy her before they succeed in finishing what they started with her mother and grandparents. Battling her fears and pushing the limits of her abilities, Nora dives into her heritage, confronts her father's corruption, and fights to restore balance to the world of Wickenton.
With danger closing in, she faces the ultimate question: can she rebuild the fragile relationship with her half-sister and hold onto Calin, or will the path to leadership force her to stand alone as so many before her have? In a tale of resilience, loyalty, and the fight for justice, Nora's choices will shape her future-and the future of everyone she loves.
