Join Arden and the Caldari on their journey underground in the riveting fifth installment of the Shadow Crown series by International Amazon Bestselling Author Kristen Martin.

Trust is growing harder and harder to come by.

After an encounter with fellow Caldari Opal Marston leaves Arden feeling on edge, she has no choice but to put on a brave face and investigate further-which is made all the more challenging seeing as she's no longer in Aeridon but below it.

At Midvale Arcane Haven, a school for illusie.

Relieved to learn that there are more magickal practitioners out there, Arden and the rest of the Caldari decide to set down roots in Midvale. For the time being, her focus is on one thing and one thing only-to figure out where her magick went and how to reclaim it. Her endeavours are met with little resistance, however, until King Tymond's Savant uncovers a way to access Midvale and all illusie in it . . . putting everyone residing there in grave danger.

Desperate for answers, Arden realizes that perhaps her abilities may not have disappeared after all, but, instead, morphed into something far more powerful. But is this newfound power beyond her control? And, if not, what exactly will she have to sacrifice to wield it?
