When Cate travels from Oregon to university in England, she expects her gravest dilemma to be finding coffee instead of tea, but she’s got bigger problems—much bigger. At Staton University, nothing is quite what it seems. Unbeknownst to Cate, a prophecy deems her as destined to defeat a ruthless enemy in a magical land, placing a target squarely on her back. Now, someone on campus is stalking her, and a narrow escape sends her through a mysterious portal, assisted by two irresistible boys.
Plans are set to ambush the Embers if they defy the treaty. Daniel reluctantly leaves Cate to persuade his father, King Dryden, to provide the necessary soldiers for the operation. Dryden, however, has his own ambitions and refuses to help, leaving their campaign and, ultimately, Daniel’s relationship with Cate in peril.
