Lara Calladine is haunted by childhood memories of being held prisoner in an ice cave and kept sane by the
whispered stories told to her by her imprisoned aunts. They instilled mage and Carpathian magic deep within
her and then helped her escape. She has spent years searching for the cave in hopes of finding the answers
to the riddle of her past as well as finding her aunts who may have given their lives saving her.
Nicolas De La Cruz has returned to the Carpathian Mountains - his homeland - on orders from his eldest
brother, Zacarias, to bring news of a conspiracy to the prince of their people. He is weary of his long existence
and plans to end it away from his brothers, where they will be unable to stop him once he has fulfilled his duty.
Lara and Nicolas' paths collide in an explosive adventure that rocks the Carpathian world.
