Outside, Bastran and Azurin continue to wage a savage war, but the war inside my body is just as brutal. The child I carry has magic that clashes with mine, and the only way I can survive this relentless sickness is to rely on Vaile’s magic to protect me.

When the battle arrives on our doorstep and with the entire kingdom edging on rebellion, I must harness the power within me to stand and fight. Not only for my child but also for Vaile and our citizens. If we fail, the future for my daughter and all the women in the kingdom will be too terrifying to imagine . . .
