Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler continues his
wondrous Harbinger series in which two young women unite as two worlds
approach the brink of war...
Though relations between Princess Seraphin Fitzempress and her father
have been strained, Sera's royal position has remained unchallenged.
Filled with self-doubt, she struggles to grasp the Mysteries--her
greatest trial yet.
An education in the enigmatic magic is a necessary one, should Sera plan
to rise in her station and invoke her powers during war. But the
emperor's death now leaves both Sera and her ambitious father eligible
for the throne--a contest the prince regent intends to win. Even if it
means an alliance with a rival empire.
Sera's hope lies in Cettie, a waif raised in the world below, whose life
has intertwined with Sera's in the most unexpected ways. The Mysteries
come easily to Cettie, and her studies have begun to yield new insight
into her growing powers. But those same powers put Cettie in the path of
those who would destroy her.
Now as the threat of war ignites and an insidious sickness spreads
throughout the kingdom, Sera and Cettie will need to gather their
courage and fight for each other's lives...and for the future of their
endangered world.
