Dahlia's lies have been discovered, and now she must suffer the consequences. Trapped and alone, her pleas for help remain unheard. When Dahlia is finally ready to let go and give in to the darkness calling her name, there is a flicker of hope. A continental summit is called in the face of a looming threat, and an opportunity is presented. A way out. A way to make things right. A way to make them so much worse.

After slighting Malachi, Dahlia wakes to find herself transformed and trapped in an entirely new world. Determined to outwit her foe, save the luminaries, and return home to Ryken, she begrudgingly accepts Malachi's offer of mentorship, but not without motive. She plans to observe him and study his weaknesses and strengths until she can surpass him in every way. Yet as the months stretch into years, the faces of Dahlia's loved ones begin to blur, and the memories of their time together quickly fade.

Three years have passed since Axel Nguyen shattered Leah Jones’s heart into a million pieces. She pretends to move on with a guy from University, but she can only truly escape thoughts of Axel when she's painting. At least one good thing has come out of all of it: her dream of exhibiting her work is finally coming true. Axel is achingly aware of how much he misses Leah every day. He thought seeing more of his best friend Oliver, Leah’s brother, would lift his spirits, but it hurts even more. When Oliver lets slip to Axel about Leah’s exhibit, Axel knows he has to go see her.

But as he prepares to move across the country for work, soon he'll be gone too, and Leah will have no one. Axel Nguyen is her brother's best friend, and the natural person to turn to.
