Break the curse; shoulder the duty.

Newly bestowed with a rank and privilege she never dreamed had been her birthright, Felicity is lost. Her ruthless instincts have no place in this new life, and there is still a hole in the fabric of her memory. Determined to piece together the mysteries of her past, Felicity leaps at the opportunity to scour the realms and protect the heartstones that give them strength.

If the answers can't be found at home, perhaps it's time to go back to the Tower...

Alarian is certain he doesn't deserve Felicity's attention - so, when she defies the newly freed Ward to insist she complete Alarian's mission with him, he's relieved that she also seems determined to ignore him. Except somehow, Alarian discovers he can sense Felicity's emotions, and now there is nowhere to hide a yearning heart.

But dancing one step ahead of them, a nightmare has begun to unfold. The traitor queen has gathered allies, and her plan is hidden within old stories and forced oaths. The key to power lies in Felicity's past - a past she can't unlock without facing a truth that may destroy her.
