Enter a World of Magic, Mystery, and Destiny

Kissare is the last living Heir and future Queen of Maal. For the first time in fourteen years, since the death of her sister Aisling, who was found face down in the inner gardens of the palace dead, the no entry order to the kingdom is lifted. The other four kingdoms are to witness her Blessing of Power.

Now she must leave her Kingdom for the first time in sixteen years.

Emrys, the Prince of Keres, feels something when he looks at Kissare, a tight pull in his chest, drawing him to her. Traveling across the Continent together proves there's more between them then what appears at first glance.

With secrets of their own, cryptic warnings and riddles, shadows whispering in the night; something is coming.

Something isn't right.

Opening a portal was the last thing they expected to happen.

A new Era for Itzell is coming.
