After learning the truth about her bloodlines, Kyra can’t help but feel like a monster.
Though
she’s formed a tentative alliance with the Palace, Kyra must keep her
identity a secret or risk being hunted like the rest of her Demon Rider
kin. Tristam and the imprisoned assassin James are among the few who
know about her heritage, but when Tristam reveals a heartbreaking secret
of his own, Kyra’s not sure she can trust him. And with James’s fate in
the hands of the palace, Kyra fears that he will give her away to save
himself.
As tensions rise within Forge's Council, and vicious
Demon Rider attacks continue in surrounding villages, Kyra knows she
must do something to save her city. But she walks a dangerous line
between opposing armies: will she be able to use her link to the Demon
Riders for good, or will her Makvani blood prove to be deadly?
In this spellbinding sequel to Midnight Thief,
Kyra and Tristam face their biggest battle yet as they grapple with
changing allegiances, shocking deceit, and vengeful opponents.
