About this book
After escaping her dark past, Yelena thought freedom would feel better—but being separated from the man she loves and viewed with suspicion by her new people is its own kind of prison. Thrown into magical training with a one-year deadline to master her powers or face execution, she's quickly caught between warring factions, a dangerous plot to overthrow a kingdom, and her own brother's deadly ambitions. With magic coursing through her veins and enemies closing in from every direction, Yelena discovers that surviving her old life was just practice for the impossible choices ahead. Fortunately, she's got a fierce spirit and some loyal allies—she'll need both to navigate this treacherous new world.
