As she travels toward the Romani territory, where the Serpentās Garden resides, she is accompanied by her faithful group of friends, including their newest member, Prince Philip of Einish.
But when the group ends up shipwrecked on the small island of Maltia, they find themselves trapped without supplies and a way off the island. With time, money, and new enemies working against them, Rose remains determined despite her despair to rise to each challenge. But can she face the growing fearāand longingāinside herself?
From the book:
āYou want to be free,ā Theo told her. āBut you donāt even allow yourself to dream of it, even with small things, like singing a song.ā
A new wave of anger, both at him and at herself, washed over her. āIf I am free, I am free to refuse,ā she muttered.
āItās not a matter of freedom, but fear.ā
āI am not afraid!ā
āArenāt you?ā Theo asked quietly.
āNo.ā
Rose waited to hear Theo argue with her. But he said nothing.
