Mare Barrow has escaped the clutches of the evil silver king Maven, who betrayed her trust and his brother, the heir apparent Cal, whom the mind-controlling queen Elara, their mother, set to kill the old king, their father. Now Mare and Cal have sought sanctuary of a sort with the rebel Scarlet Guard, but nowhere is safe from Maven and the supernatural Silvers, who will seek out Mare and Cal and the rest of the mixed bloods to bring them to their knees and destroy them. The strain of imminent capture is so great, and her inner struggle so deep, that Mare truly risks losing herself to despair. Nothing that her friends, family, or Cal can do will keep her from the destiny that awaits…a sacrifice so great that the kingdom is in danger of collapse under its weight.
