It wasn't the first time I'd disposed of a threat to a crown. I doubted it'd be the last.

An assassination attempt was made on the dragon queen while Keir was away. Now he is rushing back to Dra Skor with vengeance in mind.

Prince Keiran left for Wylan to secure a treaty between Dra Skor and Wylan, but he also knows the best way to ensure peace between their two countries is to unmask the traitor from within Dra Skor. To figure out who is responsible for the civil war brewing.

When shadow magic is seen in Dra Skor, it sends everyone reeling. How does anyone from Agria still have access to their Enchantment? It reminds Keir that though Dra Skor may be healing, there are still three other countries to consider. If he focuses solely on Dra Skor, he could hand Wylan its own war.

With all the different pieces in play, the only thing Keir knows with certainty is that he has fallen in love with the enemy. His feelings for Esta are only growing stronger. Can Esta get past his last name and consider a future, their future? Is love enough to bridge the gap between their countries?

And who is the mastermind behind the civil war in Dra Skor?
