When magic is deadly, secrets are survival. Seventeen-year-old Alathea has kept her sister safe and the forbidden magic in her veins controlled ever since their mothers fled. But when Alathea's sister disappears, a mage from the enemy realms outs Alathea's magic. On the run, Alathea receives an impossible offer from the mage: He and a terrifying sorceress will deliver Alathea to her sister if she crosses into their monster-reigned realm and accepts a magic destiny herself. To get her sister back, Alathea will have to decide: Can she stop hiding and trust her enemies...or will the unraveling of long-held secrets lead her to an even deadlier fate?
