A union made in the name of peace will shatter in betrayal and death ... and Blue Isle may once
erupt in war.
In the years following the invasion of the Fey, Blue Isle has maintained an uneasy peace. But the
marriage between the Islander prince, Nicholas, and the Fey king's granddaughter, Jewel, has not
brought their people together in true unity, as they had hoped. And worse, the firstborn son that
Nicholas and Jewel had hoped would bring the Fey and the Islanders alike to accept their union
has proven to be and empty husk of a child, seen by both races as an ill omen.
But Jewel's Vision has not shown her the truth: That Sebastian is not her child but a changeling,
and that her true son was spirited away by her own father to the enchanted fortress of gray mist
called Shadowlands. There Rugar hopes to use the boy's magic to consolidate his power among
the Fey and finish the conquest he began. His theft of his grandson is only the first betrayal threat
will weaken the fragile alliance between races; soon an assassination will touch off an explosive
chain of events that will threaten the survival of both people.
