Her formerly betrothed, Coran, has banished himself to the icy lands of Cardea to sulk. Although she is safe and well protected, Mae can't shake the sense that someone wants her dead. The Second House has always declared they are neutral in the fight between the First and Third Houses, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Antara, the current ruler of the Second House, cares only for power and retaining her lands no matter the cost. Her daughter Meirei is not as malleable an heir as Antara would like.

Meirei is determined to rule the Second House her own way and is desperately tired of her mother's abuse. Everyone has a destiny, let's hope they all survive to see it.
