Rescued by the Resistance, she learns the truth about her parents' murder and the legacy burning in her blood. But survival demands more than raw power. As the King's forces close in and allies fall around her, Maris must master abilities that have driven others mad, transform grief into strength, and become the weapon her people desperatelyLangston need. Because the King has been stealing lives for two centuries. And Maris Thorne might be the only one powerful enough to make him pay. A tale of sacrifice, transformation, and the fire that burns away darkness.
