Friendship is strained to its breaking point in Wall
Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler’s fourth
Harbinger novel.
When the emperor is assassinated, Sera Fitzempress is the
noble most eligible to inherit the empire. Her upcoming
marriage to the prince would cement her position. And as a
champion for peace, Sera is the only promise of hope for
staving off war between the worlds of Kingfountain and
Muirwood. But standing between her and her enemies is just
one devastating secret.
Sera’s best friend, Cettie, a girl born of a lower class,
has made a shattering discovery: her entire existence has
been a lie. Now Cettie must give up the only life she’s
known and fought for and leave behind the man she loves to
stop Sera’s wedding. For this discovery could bring the
whole of Kingfountain to ruin.
As Cettie struggles to determine her true loyalties and
loves, her allies fall to wicked plots, and she becomes
increasingly alone on her journey to a destiny she never
wanted—one that could ignite an unstoppable war.
