Description
Years have passed since the conclusion of the prequel to this book, Nightwalker. Maurey, fully grown and a leader in his own right, finds himself pulled from his quest across the sea to protect a young princess whose life has been thrown into turmoil following her brother's murder. Princess Eleanor is determined to thwart her mother's misguided efforts to marry her off to her cousin. But even if she succeeds, her father remains a prisoner in Eswy castle, and a mysterious symbol shows up over and over again, pointing to some sort of plot against Eleanor and the kingdom. To achieve freedom, Eleanor and Maurey must work together and Eleanor must find her power.

Editorial Reviews
"The sequel to Nightwalker may be even better than the first book! Johansen continues to impress me with her gift of storytelling."
— TeensReadToo.com
"Every bit as good as Nightwalker. Highly recommended."
— CM Magazine
"The story switches back and forth in each chapter, with Korby and Eleanor narrating their own adventures and experiences. This lends a sense of immediacy to the action, and makes for a gripping read...[This series] packs a lot of plot-driven punch. I am looking forward to the third installment."
— Mad Tales blog
"The characters are well developed and individual, even the villains, and the action is compelling."
— KLIATT
"Blending history, romance and humor, K.V. Johansen spins a tale of treachery and triumph that will delight her fans and earn her new ones."
