With five uncrowned kings of Aralot, the unsatisfied magic on the land is taking a deeper hold on Kayla Brixton.
Kayla is slipping into nightmares both day and night. Her only clue to defeating the curse is to remain happy, but joy is hard to come by when Prince Tristan gains an assassin, King Tyler asks for his runaway wife back, and Wisteria starts heading after Kayla's magical dragon.
Caleb does his best get Valiant to participate in class, but when Caleb's job explodes around him, he turns toward unlikely allies and learns about Aralot's most ancient curse: the one that is sucking away Kayla's love.
The one that is killing her.
There are only two choices left. Let Kayla sacrifice her love and die to save them, or destroy all of Aralot to save her.
