The fate of the kingdoms is under lock and key.

Lucas is missing. Heartbroken from losing Cate to Daniel, he sets out on a mission to rally the dragons of the north, only to be captured by the Embers. Finally, a message arrives in Caelum demanding a peace treaty in exchange for Lucas’s safety.

But there’s a catch. King Aldridge must negotiate in person.

Cate, struggling to control the powers that nearly killed her, recognizes the treaty would provide the time she desperately needs to harness the magic that will stop the enemy once and for all. But trusting the Embers is a dangerous gamble.

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.

With the threat of the enemy looming and Lucas’s life at stake, Cate, Daniel, and Lucas must find their way back to one another to save the kingdoms. Because this time, the Embers are out for revenge.
