"The War of Scars is over. Our war has only just begun." At seventeen years of age, Adria Idonea has already seen both sides of war. Once princess in a citadel tower, she followed the ghosts of her childhood to join the kingdom's enemies, the Aesidhe of the Heiland wild. Even while her father's soldiers march upon the people she has come to love, Adria discovers much in her exile - the traditions and the tragedy of the hunted Aesidhe, the secret history of her father's Knights of Darkfire, the strange origins of the Sisterhood of Heiland and their Matriarch, and the mystery of her own family. Now a warrior, a healer, and a leader of the Wilding Ones, Adria has come of age, but a promise she made in haste has bound her to return to her home after long exile. The Princess of Heiland must return to fulfill an oath, but will she return as a royal heir... or as a traitor?
