A startling betrayal has left both Sera and the dangerously seductive ruler of the Shadowlands held captive by the false King of the Gods. Now, there is only one way to free Nyktos and prevent the dark forces of the Shadowlands from invading Dalos and igniting a massive, devastating war. Sera must somehow convince the erratic and twisted Kolis to listen, which will not be easy even with her lifetime of intense training. Nothing could have prepared Sera for the shocking cruelty of his Court or the terrifying truths suddenly revealed to her. These revelations completely upend everything she thought she understood about her duty and the actual creation of their realms. Surviving Kolis is only the first part of her brutal battle. The Ascension is rapidly approaching, and Sera is quickly running out of time. Nyktos is determined to do whatever it takes to keep Sera alive, even if it means risking the utter destruction of all the realms by failing to Ascend as the Primal of Life. Their destinies may no longer be in their own hands.
