--

Calandra s five kingdoms are on the verge of destruction. The crux migration is coming. And in the wake of a devastating attack, I ve been separated from the man who owns my heart.

I'm lost.

Terrified. Homesick. Hunted by monsters, driven to exhaustion, and kidnapped by a powerful priest, the only thing keeping me going is the little girl counting on me to keep her safe.

It's my turn to become the Guardian.

Our lives change one fateful night.

A night of death. A night of monsters. A night of truths.

That night, I learn the real meaning of fear and the depth of my own strength.

Everyone wants me to be something I m not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I embrace my crown? What if the secrets I uncover save our realm?

What if my sacrifice means salvation for the man I love?

For too long, I've feared the monsters we make.

It s time to discover the monster within.
