In the aftermath of Sasha and Jayhan's rescue, King Gavin learns of an
upcoming invasion to Carrador.
Upon return to Highkington, eleven-year-old Sasharia and her elder
brother, Jondarion, try to settle back into day-to-day life. But
Toriana, the murderous aunt who killed the rest of their family, has no
intention of allowing Sasha or Jon to survive, and will go to any
lengths to protect her throne.
Setting out for Kimora, the two hold on to a faint hope that Sasha, by
wielding her amulet, can overcome her aunt's magical binding and
confront Toriana herself. But even with the help of her companions the
task is monumental for a young girl, whose own undeveloped power is
still raw and unwieldy.
But Sasha is the true High Shaman and holder of the dark amulet. She is
the only person who can even attempt to stop Toriana before the Kimoran
armies invade Carrador. And unknown to them all, another unexpected
force is also in play.
