Kara has been running for nearly four decades. First, from her home and the Elven Calling she was born into, then from her beloved assassin family after an assignment goes sideways and she is left for dead. But when she learns that the Demigods intend to take the throne from their parents by destroying all of Cylendri, she must return to the North with her friend and mentor to confront the shadows of her past.
As her lives collide, she brings together a team of unlikely heroes from across the Factions to prevent the end of the world. She must atone for deserting The Vipers by saving a man she is intrinsically connected to even if he doesn't remember her, return to Lyria Village to make amends with her family, and learn to control a magical mutation within before it kills her. With the fate of all life hanging in the balance, Kara must reconcile her past and present to ensure the future of Cylendri is secure, even if it means she will have to sacrifice this new life she has so feverishly desired. But saving the world is only the beginning, because nothing is ever that simple.
