But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot.
