It's hard to save a world when your family is out to kill you...

Taryn banished the phantom, but someone, or something, is invading her thoughts. To escape the torture and bring balance to Aelinae, Taryn must do the one thing she fears most—unlock her Dark powers.

Rhoane swore an oath to protect Taryn, forsaking all others to keep her from harm, yet her independent spirit and lack of trust almost cost her life. Now, he'll do what it takes to save the woman he loves from the Blackness growing inside her.

But there's evil in this world, and it's just as desperate for them to fail.
