Brierley thought she was the last of the shari'a, a race of witches who lived in peace, until the Allemani people decimated them out of fear of their differences. Brierley hid in the shadows, keeping her healing powers a secret, even as she fell in love with a nobleman. But, she was compelled to use them when necessary, and those actions caused her to be discovered. As she makes her way to safety, Brierley discovers that she is not the last of her kind. There are many who stayed in the shadows and survived. The time of reckoning is at hand-and some of her people are not committed to peace. Will Brierley have to sacrifice the love of her life to save an entire world?
