Meg Corbyn draws her blade across her skin and feels the familiar rush. The cut brings prophecy, but each slice brings her closer to death. She cannot stop. The addiction controls her now. Simon Wolfgard watches his blood prophet destroy herself, but he needs her visions. The Others liberated the cassandra sangue from their captors, thinking they were saving the seers. Instead, they created a crisis. The freed prophets face greater peril than before. Their own compulsions threaten them. Enemies still hunt them for their gift of sight. War shadows gather across the Atlantik. Fanatics spread their hatred of the Others. The conflict approaches Simon and Meg's territory. Both human and Other communities demand answers that only Meg's prophecies can provide. Simon must ask her to cut again, knowing the risk. Meg must choose between the euphoria of her visions and her survival. Their bond deepens as external threats multiply and internal struggles intensify.
