Can she forge a future when she's bound by the past?
Fourteen years after the Coup of Fire, the embers of war are reigniting in Ilahara. Prince Derron Argarys has returned home with a prisoner-his half-brother, Kael. But such a gift is not enough to quell the queen's ire, and Adara is not the peaceful capital Derron left. The people whisper Asharaya Myrassar's name, and dragon banners appear all over the city. After failing in his mission to kill the last Myrassar, Derron has one last chance to prove his worth to Queen Aerella: Find the banners' artists and stop the rebel movement from taking hold.
After narrowly escaping the prince's trap in Merania with their lives, Shara and her friends are in hiding. Shaken by Derron's betrayal and unsure of Kael's fate, they must contend not only with their losses but with the Argarys soldiers hunting them across the north. But to free Daganver from the queen's hold, they must set aside heartbreak and ally with the rebellion spreading throughout the land.
Yet as the lines between foes blur, one wrong move could prove fatal. Derron's heart is riddled with guilt over his role in Kael's imprisonment, and his dreams are haunted by the Myrassar princess-and childhood friend-he couldn't bring himself to kill. To find her place in Ilahara's future, Shara must tame her reckless nature and attraction to the prince while confronting the shadows of a past she thought long buried.
Loyalties are tested, new alliances are forged, and old passions are rekindled in the follow-up to Ilahara: The Last Myrassar.
