He cannot face Valdis' dark army alone and must travel to the remaining three courts in the hope of earning their support. But there is just one problem. Elijah is unwilling to use his newfound magic and accept his royal destiny. Meanwhile, Lorch finds himself as a pawn in a game of power, grappling with his desire for revenge while nursing his broken heart.
