When the attractive and mysterious Narian arrives from enemy lands bearing different ideas about the roles of women, Alera's private desires threaten to destroy the kingdom. But the discovery of Narian's shocking past plunges Alera into a shadowy world of palace intrigue and ancient blood feuds, leaving her unsure what to believe or whom to trust.
