Arwen Valondale began life as no one, as nothing. But now she's risen to unimaginable heights, done astonishing deeds, and fallen in love . . . with her arch-nemesis, the compelling Kane Ravenwood. Kane stands for everything Arwen hates: confusion, uncertainty, darkness and fear. And yet, she can't seem to leave him behind - she's journeyed to the highest peaks, the most distant lands, even the depths of the seas, and Kane has always been there with her. At first, Arwen believed Kane was the reason her kingdom had fallen to war; now she knows it's the Fae King Lazarus, and that she's prophesised to defeat him. Only by working with Kane will she be able to defeat Lazarus, once and for all, and save herself, her kingdom . . . and maybe her heart.
