Ceridwen tal Desmond dreams of ruling like her father over the nation of Soldonia, where warriors ride to battle on magical steeds—soaring on storm winds, vanishing in shadow, quaking the earth, and summoning the sea. After a tragic accident claims her twin brother, she is exiled and sworn to atonement by spending her life—or death—for her people. But when invaders spill onto Soldonia’s shores and traitors seize upon the chaos to murder her father, Ceridwen claims the crown to keep the nation from splintering.

But there’s a reason why none have survived before. A prophecy that has haunted the elders since time began. A rivalry destined to sink the entire island beneath a twin catastrophe of volcano and tsunami. As hatred spills from the forbidden twins like the deadly poison of sacrificed sea snakes, they must decide what matters to them most.

"Un paio di occhi dorati brillavano nella boscaglia accanto a me. La foresta era silenziosa. Il vento non soffiava più. Persino la neve aveva smesso di scendere. Quel lupo era enorme.

Non potevo permettermi di mancarlo. Non quando avevo una sola freccia con me."

My family had never seemed all that special, but our true strength was being unlocked by all of the magicals that had become our family and the legions of darkness that had become our shared enemy.
