As the power struggle between Embers and Demons intensifies, a disquieting vision comes to light; this time good can never win without becoming evil...
With Demons growing stronger, Feya and Kelsey train to harness their magic alongside their powerless friend Tristan, only hoping his life will not be as short as theirs and that of their parents. The trio are alone in their awareness that any efforts in the power struggle will be their demise, so when an attack against Demons is organised they prepare for their downfall feeling trapped.
Options are scarce until an exiled rogue, remembered for her inexplicable attack on Tristan, returns with a risky proposition; to become allies with a Demon, abandon their friends, and rip magic from the world.
