Power destroys power. Separated from everyone and everything she knows, Rae Toma is once again lost to the Shatter. This time, however, the Compass has been claimed - and there is no hope of escape. Now the bearer of Eriysha's Compass, Nur Del Sue returns to her islands - where old enemies await. Caught between the goddess's task and her desire for revenge, the Stormwitch soon realizes that she will need to place her trust in the very people who betrayed her. Upon reaching the shores of Okaro, Alana Zaya finds a tangle of politics and deception left behind by her mother. Facing opposition from all sides and denied by her homeland, the Queen of Darkness is pushed to the breaking point. Can these three women avert disaster yet again, or is their - and the universe's - luck running out?
