About this book

Book Summary

War has descended. The enemy's power grows. And the lost, the hopeless, cannot help but wonder…where is the Second Saint now?

Aya has gone missing, and no one has heard whisper of her―not even Will. Desperately searching the continent for some sign of his lost love, he's soon joined by Aidon, recently on the run after showing forbidden power at the battle of Dunmeaden…throwing his own kingdom head-first into civil war. 

Time isn't on their side. They have to find Aya soon, or all the realm will fracture.

But what no one knows is that Aya has not been lost, but taken: bound and tortured, at the mercy of the vengeful first saint. Filled with rage, the saint plans to use Aya to destroy the gods who killed her 500 years ago…no matter the cost to those left behind. 

Torn between duty and empathy, light and dark, love and loss, Aya must find a way to free herself and finally decide her true fate: Can she fulfill the prophecy and save the realm? Or should the gods pay for what they've done?
