“I couldn’t let them just take any more children, not without doing something. You do what’s right, even if it puts you in danger.” Fourteen years after tSardia stages a coup of Callenlas, Rael learns he is the true heir and only he can fulfil the prophecy to drive the false Queen Neradi out. Children are disappearing into the capital and never returning, and Rael doesn’t know who to trust, but somehow he must succeed in this impossible mission to defeat the Queen and restore Elior’s throne.
