Haunted by her tragic past with her stalker and parents' murderer still at large, Lara's path crosses with that of Caspian and Darian.

The two secretive men force her to question everything she once thought she knew, as she discovers that not only is magic's return to the world imminent, but she is the key. The question is, will she survive long enough to see it? Will she find the strength to shape her own destiny, or will her past consume her once and for all? Discover a world where danger lurks at every turn, and the power within may be the key to survival.
