Maggie Henning has learned what she really is--the last of an ancient race of Phoenix. She knows who her enemy is--Ossa, the leader of the Revenant Army. She had thought the toughest battle fought. She only now is learning the road ahead is harder still. In the hopes of returning a fallen Realm Prince, Maggie must barter with the Angels for his release. But the path to such a discussion is not an easy one. Traveling with one prince to save the other, Maggie soon learns that there is no black and white in the Realm; that the lines between good and evil, love and hate, are at best... blurry. She will learn a dark secret; one that calls into question everything she thought she felt. Even as she tries to determine her fate, Luc faces his own destiny. Does he reach for what the future promises, or does he deny what's so plainly there before him? If the only pain is in denying destiny, do you give in to the agony, or do you burn with it?
