In the story, two young women centuries apart - one a troubled, magic-wielding queen, the other a bounty hunter serving a ruthless empire - must fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, only to discover as their stories intersect that they have the power to save their world or doom it. 

Who are the Sawkill Girls? Marion: The newbie. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Zoey: The pariah. Luckless and lonely, hurting but hiding it. Aching with grief and dreaming of vanished girls. Val: The queen bee. Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an insidious monster at parties and around campfires. Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight…until now.

When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and a queen of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed...unless the trials kill her first. One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable - until her mother vanishes.

Queen Rielle, pushed away from everything she loves, turns to Corien and his promises of glory. Meanwhile, whispers from the empirium slowly drive her mad, urging her to open the Gate. Separated from Audric and Ludivine, she embraces the role of Blood Queen and her place by Corien's side, determined to become the monster the world believes her to be. In the future, Eliana arrives in the Empire's capital as a broken shell of herself. 

Orphan. Thief. Witch. Twelve-year-old Quicksilver lives as a thief in the sleepy town of Willow-on-the-River. Her only companions are her faithful dog and partner in crime, Fox - and Sly Boots, the shy boy who lets her live in his attic when it’s too cold to sleep on the rooftops. It’s a lonesome life, but Quicksilver is used to being alone. When you are alone, no one can hurt you. No one can abandon you. Then one day Quicksilver discovers that she can perform magic. Real magic. The kind that isn’t supposed to exist anymore.

Rielle ha sido ungida como Reina Solar, pero la Puerta que mantenía aislados a los ángeles ha caído. Para repararla, debe recuperar las siete piezas perdidas de los Santos. Mientras tanto, para ayudar a Audric a proteger Celdaria, deberá espiar al ángel Corien, cuyas promesas de libertad y poder pueden ser demasiado tentadoras. 

Inmersa en un gran escándalo palaciego, Rielle debe enfrentarse a pruebas de enorme peligro para demostrar si es ella la Reina Solar que la profecía anunciaba. Mientras su corazón se desgarra por Audric, su obligación es mostrar tanto a gobernantes como a súbditos que sus poderes proceden del Bien. Sin embargo, una oscura presencia la acecha, y le hace ver que su Destino quizá es mucho más terrible de lo que ella creía.... 

La profecía lo anunció: llegará una Reina de la Sangre para destruir el mundo, y una Reina del Sol para reconstruirlo. No se sabe cuándo, no se sabe quién. Pero sucederá. 

"Eine Sonnenkönigin wird kommen, um die Welt von Avitas zu retten. Doch ebenso wird eine Blutkönigin kommen, die die Macht des Zorns mit sich bringen wird, um Avitas zu zerstören. Beide Königinnen beherrschen als Einzige in ihrer Welt, alle sieben Arten der Elementemagie." Zwei junge Frauen, Rielle und Eliana, durch einen kosmischen Krieg, der ein Millennium umspannt, voneinander getrennt, sind durch diese Prophezeiung miteinander verbunden. Das über Raum und Zeit und hinweg eng verwobene Schicksal der Beiden entfaltet einen packenden Sog voller schockierender Enthüllungen.

Resourceful twin sisters and a desperate queen must find a new source of magic to stop their kingdom from being consumed by darkness.
