She'll do whatever it takes to stop the destruction of her world. But first, she has to find the destroyer. Crimson Circle Elite Shirina has fought tooth and nail to rebuild her beloved Ravenhold Circle from scratch. Through humiliation and setbacks, she has remained steadfast in her one purpose: to prepare the Land of Light for the return of Siabala. But now that the Wall of Loss has fallen and the dark god she helped imprison has broken free, his disciples are wreaking havoc on the Land of Light—and on everything Shirina has fought to rebuild. Piece by piece, they are dismantling her reputation, her outposts, and the Circle itself. And with Ravenhold's deepest secrets as frustratingly hidden to her as Siabala himself, she can't stop him. Nor can she help her allies, Queen Cassara Edoline and Avarielle Grayloft, in their own desperate fight against the darkness that is descending. As Siabala's web of magic tightens over both Graydon and Elihor, entire kingdoms have begun to fall. Will Shirina be able to unlock the hidden secrets of Ravenhold and reclaim her magic in time to save the lands? Or will the dark god's return be the final death knell for her Circle—and her world?
