Briony is finally free from the magical prison of Asperfell, but not from its strange and savage world. Now, she must journey to the far north to find a passage back to her own kingdom of Tiralaen with Prince Elyan, the rightful heir to the throne, in time to stop a civil war. But, at the heart of an enchanted forest, they'll discover an impossible kingdom of opulence and decadence beyond imagination. Soon, they'll be ensnared in a deadly web of lies that stretches across generations... and worlds. This is the second book of the beloved and award-winning Asperfell trilogy.
