Gaela. Ruthless commander. I am the rightful heir of Innis Lear. No more will I wait in the shadows and watch my mother's murderer bleed my island dry.

The king's hold on the crown must end--willingly or at the edge of my sword.

Regan. Master manipulator. To secure our place on the throne, I must produce an heir. Countless times I have fed the island's forests my blood. Yet, my ambition is cursed.

No matter what or whom I must destroy, I will wield the magic of Innis Lear.

Elia. Star-blessed priest. My sisters hide in the shadows like serpents, waiting to strike our ailing king. I must protect my father, even if it means marrying a stranger.

We all have to make sacrifices. Love and freedom will be mine.

An island at risk and an empire poised for ruin; the line of Lear will be soaked in blood.
