FRIEND. GUARD. ORPHAN. Lish Taylor thinks she knows who she is. But when her tactical team begins to investigate a series of abductions, the haunting questions she's carried since her mother's murder come flooding back. With the case growing increasingly suspicious, Lish leaves her climate-ravaged city to seek answers, even after she's ordered to stand down-only to be abducted herself. Captured by the brutal General Siosal, Lish is determined to free not only herself, but also the General's other victims. With the enigmatic cell-guard, Lochlain, as her unexpected ally, Lish's escape catapults her into the hidden world of the Calahi, where magic pulses through the land. But, even with its incredible differences, Lish can't ignore that this world is also suffering. The threads of her investigation soon draw Lish into a war for a dying kingdom. To survive – and reclaim her future – she must bring those she loves together and prove that healing a broken world begins with standing in your truth.
