Alexa, the entrusted ruler of Byzantium alongside her brother Marric, is plunged into chaos when occult forces twist her away from duty and into betrayal. With her sovereignty usurped and her spirit scarred, she is rescued by warrior allies and sent to a remote northern realm. Grieved by the loss of Marric and haunted by nightmares of doom, Alexa’s journey is perilous, especially as the ominous oppressor’s reach remains. Her only path to redemption lies among the Druids of the distant Misty Isles, who promise to rid her of the darkness and unlock her latent powers. In learning their ancient arts, Alexa must realize that her own hand holds the fate of Penilyn and Byzantium.
