Saving the crown prince's life – twice – earned her the title of Lady Emrys Just. But at the court of Wyst, trust is harder to win than titles. Especially when you're the adopted daughter of Parycelus, the man plotting to seize control of the realm's magic through seven medallions.

Trained to be his unwitting spy, Emrys uses her skills against her adoptive father's traitorous schemes. Each medallion she fails to secure brings Parycelus closer to mastering the Aether – and enslaving Wyst. With his agent, Ajay Fedwor, always one step ahead, Emrys races to find an edge.

But the hardest battle lies within – to save Wyst, Emrys must first uncover the truth of her own identity – and her mysterious nature.
