Snakes slither into the forefront as betrayals and curses unravel long-held family mysteries. The battle between Rodrick and Arcelia's royal families reaches new heights, with struggles of power, magic, and, hopefully, loss. More of Rodrick's family secrets rise to the surface and begin to shake the very foundations of loyalty he and his siblings once held.

And with every new revelation, Arcelia begins to doubt who she can trust and believe more and more. She will now have to delve deeper into the darkness that lurks within mortals and deities alike to save the ones she holds dear–even if it kills her.
