When she loses her adoptive mother, the prison warden, Novia takes the helm. While overseeing the worst of the worst, she secretly utilizes the island's underground caverns as a sanctuary for refugees and members of the resistance. This arrangement works well... until it doesn't.
When she's kidnapped by the former Andovian queen, Novia soon realizes her past is far more dangerous than her present. She'd give reclaim her normal island life, but life on Glenfel is about to take an even uglier turn.
One prisoner is murdered. Another escapes. New arrivals to the island leave Novia's head spinning. She doesn't know who to trust and how to keep the danger and its repercussions at bay.
