Bree Matthews has exiled herself to keep her loved ones safe from her powers. But her isolation comes at a terrible price: she's bound to the Shadow King, a shapeshifting demon lord who trains her to wield her abilities as his new protégé. As Bree navigates this uneasy alliance, the other Scions face their own crises, with the Legendborn Order fractured and their leaders missing. When a string of kidnappings and Merlin deaths shakes the community, Bree must confront her past and the consequences of her choices if she hopes to protect those she cares about most.
