Sarah Lind has discovered over half of the moongates hidden across the Six Realms that she will need to return to Earth. Not only that, the dragon-shifter Heir of Flame cares for her, and the magical bond forged between them grows stronger by the day. Yet Sarah's choice of whether to embrace her destiny is still far from simple, especially with the rising movement calling Sarah the long-promised Moondaughter, crushing her with the weight of their hopes, and the Tree's injunction that the future Queen of Ice must marry the future King of Flame.

But as Sarah races against all odds to do so, she risks something even greater than her life—her heart.
