Sefia has lost everything to the Guard. They took her mother, her father, and her Aunt Nin. Now they want Archer, the boy she loves, to fulfill an ancient prophecy that will drag the Five Kingdoms into bloody war. The Book, an endless codex containing all of time, has written this future. It demands Archer play his part in the coming destruction of Kelanna. Sefia refuses to let the Guard claim one more person she cares about. She will do anything to keep Archer safe, even if it means defying fate itself. But the Guard grows stronger, and Kelanna begins to bend under their influence. The prophecy moves forward despite Sefia's efforts. She and Archer face an impossible choice. They can flee together and watch their world burn, or they can join the very war that threatens to destroy their love forever.
