Now Adelice is being called upon to harness her phenomenal power and break Earth from the grip of the Guild. But as she uncovers the truth about her parents and her former life, she discovers that nothing on Earth is as it seems either. Everyone has secrets, especially those she loves most. What’s more, those secrets are driving Adelice and Jost apart, and Adelice into the waiting arms of Jost’s brother, Erik. Torn between two brothers and two worlds, Adelice must decide what—and who—she’s fighting for, before it’s too late.
