After defeating the wicked Mor and freeing her kin from deadly oaths made to this false ruler, Fer is now the rightful Lady of the Summerlands. Yet her people don't know what to make of their new lady's ways, and neither do the High Ones, the rulers of the magical realm. To prove herself worthy of the Summerlands crown, Fer is summoned to compete in an epic contest where her strengths and skills will be tested and her loyalties challenged. If Fer fails, she will lose her land, and the Way will be closed to her forever. Sarah Prineas, beloved author of the Magic Thief books, once again dazzles the page with her signature lush prose, weaving an unforgettable fantasy adventure.
