Three months after defeating her corrupt father and rescuing Azantian, Margrete Wood sails dangerous waters with her king Bash. They pursue the monstrous beings that escaped into the human world during that violent night. A catastrophe at sea leaves their crew shipwrecked on an unknown island where ancient magic still holds sway. Margrete discovers a legendary coin that once belonged to a goddess, marking the beginning of three fatal trials. Failure means death and eternal imprisonment on this cursed land. As she and Bash face horrific creatures and deadly challenges, a powerful god observes from the shadows. He has waited centuries to find his destined queen, and Margrete fits his vision perfectly. The trials grow more brutal with each coin they recover. When they locate the final piece, Margrete and Bash must discover whether their bond can survive the ultimate test.
