Aya has gone missing after Kakos’ brutal attack on Dunmeaden. Will is desperately searching for her and is joined by Aidon, who’s on the run after showing his forbidden power during the battle.

But what no one knows is that Aya has been abducted by the vengeful first saint, Evie, who plans to join Kakos and help destroy the gods who killed her 500 years ago.

Aya must decide her true fate. Can she fulfil the prophecy and save the realm?

Or should the gods pay for what they’ve done?

He’d once called her dangerous. And he had been right.

She was a spy. A warrior. A weapon.

Aya has returned home at last.

But she is not the same person who left Tala all those months ago.

And Tala isn't the same either.

The threat of a war that could destroy the realm continues to grow and she is the only one who can save it.

Because she is also the Second Saint.

But there are those that see her as a pawn and want to use her powers for their own gain.

Aya is about to learn that the real danger is closer to home than she ever could have imagined.

Has she been sent to save the realm or destroy it?

As Spymaster to the Queen, Aya's blood oath ensures she protects those she fights alongside - including Will, the Queen's Enforcer and Aya's bitter rival. When rumors of dark magic rise in a nearby kingdom, both are sent to investigate. But when Aya's power acts beyond her gods-given affinity, she risks being turned into a weapon in a war she doesn't know how to win.

And when her relationship with Will unexpectedly shifts, neither know the danger that will follow . . .
