Fate sends Kestrel and Aria onto different paths. Their lives are thrown into turmoil and each must come to grips with the absolute truths of their situation.

Aria must embrace a legacy she never knew she had, as she is plunged into the world of the elite. Navigating the viper pit of social circles, and given an opportunity that people either envy or despise.

Kes, with war on the horizon, walks the path of a soldier, but thankfully, he is not alone as Gavyn follows him. Determined to help fashion him into a formidable warrior.

When war finally erupts between Tartha and Sakkara, both are dragged into the harsh reality of the conflict. During the chaos, both have their roles to play, while learning to rely on new friends and alliances.
