When Branwen used magic to save her country's future, she never expected to destroy her dreams for her own. Now, the love she and Tristan built is destroyed and her relationship with her cousin Essy is shattered. But Branwen does not have time to dwell on her heartbreak. Essy's betrothed, the king of a rival nation, must never discover Tristan and Essy's affair, or it could mean war. Branwen goes to desperate lengths to stop the king from discovering the truth, but the price may be even more terrible than she could have imagined. Can Branwen master her magic before it becomes her own undoing
