THE OLD WAR IS OVER. A NEW ONE IS JUST BEGINNING.
The curse plaguing the Ashbourne and Bask families has finally been broken, but Farrin, the eldest Ashbourne daughter, still struggles to find peace. Unflappable and tireless, her composure masks a seething sorrow. Since her mother abandoned the family, Farrin has been their rockāmanaging her fatherās temper, running the estate, keeping tight control over her dangerous musical power, and ignoring her own need for rest, distraction, and most of all, love.
In Ryder Bask, Farrinās stubborn strength has met its match. The man infuriates her. Heās coarse, arrogant, annoyingly handsome. Heās as tired of their feuding parents as she is, and he brims with some secret anger that mirrors Farrinās frustrated rage.
But Farrin must work with every ally she canāeven the man she has been raised to hate. With every rising dawn, the Middlemist weakens further. Anointed magicians are disappearing. A fiery Olden creature is stalking Farrin. Strange visions haunt the High Queen Yvaine. And as Farrin and Ryder race to find stolen loved ones, they begin to realize a horrifying truth:
The gods are not dead. Theyāre waking up. And someone is hunting them.
