A revolutionary. A raider. A prince. Will fight for their countries, their families, themselves— or face a war that could destroy the world as they know it.
Adeluna is a soldier.
Five years ago, she helped the magic-rich island of Grace Loray overthrow its oppressor, Argrid, a country ruled by religion. But adjusting to postwar life has not been easy. When an Argridian delegate vanishes during peace talks with Grace Loray’ s new Council, Argrid demands brutal justice— but Lu suspects something dangerous is at work.
Devereux is a pirate.
As one of the stream raiders who run rampant on Grace Loray, he scavenges the island’ s magic plants and sells them on the black market. But after Argrid accuses raiders of the diplomat’ s abduction, Vex becomes a target. An expert navigator, he agrees to help Lu find the Argridian— but the truth they uncover could be deadlier than any war.
Benat is a heretic.
The crown prince of Argrid, he harbors a secret obsession with Grace Loray’ s forbidden magic. When Ben’ s father, the king, gives him the shocking task of reversing Argrid’ s fear of magic, Ben has to decide if one prince can change a devout country— or if he’ s building his own pyre.
As conspiracies arise, Lu, Vex, and Ben will have to decide who they really are . . . and what they are willing to become for peace.
