Now she turns to a power that has slept within her for years, hoping to repair the damage she has caused. The Bloodmoons' new leader has learned her secret. He knows she belongs to the Silvercloaks. He knows she wants to destroy everything he has built. Yet he cannot stop loving the mage who betrayed him. A determined detective tracks both gangs across continents. She will crush the Bloodmoons and their rivals, no matter who gets hurt. Saffron faces an impossible choice. She can try to rewrite time itself, but the cost may turn her into the enemy of everyone she once protected.
