In the weeks after the events of Moonshadow's Guardian, Riana finally has what she's always wanted: a free life in the human world. No more commands. No more restraints on her will. No more being used as a living weapon.

Yet the scars she earned escaping her old life don't just mark her body. Nightmares haunt her sleeping hours and news of Jacob VIII's plans to exterminate the telars harry her waking thoughts.

If she wants to keep the fragile place she's built for herself and the peace she secured for Moonshadow, she must decide if she will once again take up her blade?this time against her former master.

Elsewhere in Moonshadow, unrest and discrimination have roiled into a deadly storm of force. Revolution is brewing?and even Jacob VIII's death might not be enough to stop it from sweeping over Moonshadow.
