Aspen is still reeling from the aftermath of the Dragon Scales. She's already lost everything once, and now that she's started to pick up the pieces of her life...she's terrified that she'll lose everything all over again.


But duty comes before all else, and she must protect the Golden Grove. With the threat of an invasion looming over her head-a threat that seems too easy to be anything but-Aspen must put aside her personal feelings and lead her people to victory. No matter the cost, she will not fail again.


When Vinea discovers the thing most precious to her has been taken by Sedick, all hope of returning to her normal life is thrown to the wind. She marches to Sedick's doorstep prepared to drag him through the depths of the Pit, but is instead sucked into one of Sedick's desperate schemes. She has no choice but to comply, even at the cost of everything she worked so hard to protect.


The flames of a waning war roar back to life in this second installment of The Songs of Loralan. Hearts are tested and wills collide as cowards and heroes fight for their version of Loralan's future.
