But when Kaelin Duskthorn, heir to the Shadow Court, crosses it on a rogue mission to reclaim stolen fae magic, he doesn't expect a mere human to stand in his way.

After nearly a year trapped in the endless dark of the Labyrinth, Caelia and her companions claw their way back into a world that has changed without them. Villages whisper of fading gods, rising monsters, and a Titaness walking among mortals. Only those who bled beside her in the Labyrinth know the truth: her real name is Kaelis, and she is no ordinary girl-she is the Titaness of Life and Knowledge, the one even Death cannot claim. At her side are the ones who endured with her: fierce Phoebe, radiant Ren, storm-eyed Caelus, fading Pan, shadowed Thanatos, and steady, sharp-witted Dorian. Together they are bound by fire-forged loyalty, but also by the prophecy that stalks them: a dear companion lost, a bond undone, a faith betrayed. As Kaelis struggles to keep her fractured family together, she must hide her true self from the world that calls her Caelia-even as her Titaness nature threatens to tear her apart. Caught between the name the world knows and the name her companions guard, Kaelis must decide whether she can defy fate itself...or watch the people she loves slip away, one by one.
