A year has passed since the Judgment...
...and Merelin wonders if she will ever return to Arah Byen.
Then the visions begin.
Memories of a life and love she left behind begin to twist into something dark and terrible. Is it guilt that haunts her...
...or is she foreseeing a terrifying future yet to come?
Her role in Arah Byen is far from over, but nothing can prepare her for what she will find when she returns.
She thought she had won peace for the world, but a new enemy lurks in the shadows and plots the overthrow of all that she and Yatol fought for.
With everything turned upside-down, Merelin must discover whose side she is really on-and who she can trust-before it is too late.
But how can she know who to trust...
...when she isn't even sure she can trust herself?
