A false prophet stands at the gates. She won't leave until the city burns.
The thousand-year war has finally reached the capital. Roza, a rogue commander wielding the power of a storm, has claimed the title of Warden. With a cult of fanatics at her back and the ruling council in ruins, she lays siege to Oblako Academy with one lethal demand:
Surrender the boy who carries the true prophecy.
Alexi Grekov is no longer just a student hiding a secret. He's the only one who knows Roza is a fraud, and the only one who understands what she's becoming because he's fighting it himself. But the Academy has become a cage. As food runs out and the city collapses, Alexi must venture into the ancient, lethal catacombs beneath the streets to find the one relic that can expose the truth.
But the truth is a double-edged blade. To save his home and his family, Alexi must finally step into the light and reveal what he has become.
In a world of monsters, showing your true face is the most dangerous move of all.
