No one could've guessed how she would shift the balance between good and evil.

Zara is stranded in a world that's not hers, living a life she never wanted. The streets and walls of Mil'antias, Antikas are her prison, and the sentence seems endless. Bound by a promise, she can't be who she really is.

Tarsius MacGeddin, Knight of Sear’dan, struggles to focus on his life's purpose, whatever it might be, and not be distracted by Zara's growing melancholy. Rumors surface. Assassins are turning up dead with no evidence to point to the identity of their assailant. He fears Zara may be involved but is reluctant to confront the possibility. What if she's innocent? How will she take being falsely accused? Will she run? But, what if she is the one?

Then vivid dreams lead Tarsius on a quest, and he needs Zara's skills to ensure its success.
