The land is dying. Magic is withering. Death lies within the void. Lithia has been a general for a century, but no battle could prepare her for the chaos that has befallen her world, nor has it given her time to adjust to being High Queen of Suviel. A day after becoming queen, reports flood in that a curse has seized the heart of Suviel leaving a void of magic slowly making its way across the land. As the land and the fae upon it watch their magic begin to wither, Lithia's magic is the only hope to bring life back to the heart of Suviel. Unfortunately, they have to be able to find the heart to save it. Calcas is angry. His friends are dead, and the one who killed them is sitting on a throne. He's spent a decade running from his anger, fighting, hiding, and clawing his way out of his grief. Now here he is, helping a queen he loathes, fight for a land he wants no part of, to save his family. They will have to navigate treacherous alliances and dangerous terrain to find the heart of Suviel but, as they draw closer, they realize that the cost may be higher than they ever imagined. Sacrifice everything or succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume them all.
