Eleven years later, nineteen-year-old Angel has no memory of her royal heritage.

Now Angel must navigate court politics, ancient prophecies, and the growing tension between pure blood traditionalists and the hybrid communities they despise.

As dark forces led by the mysterious witch Morgana gather strength, Angel discovers that recovering her identity is just the beginning.
