Wil, the exiled princess of northern
Arrod, must do what she never thought possible: return home to discover the
origins of her own curse.
But home is very different from how she
left it—Wil’s unpredictable elder brother Baren is now king, leading a war
against the Southern Isles. And with time running out, Wil must navigate the
dangerous secrets within her family to find the truth.
Nothing goes as planned, and suddenly
Wil and her allies are fighting for their lives as the Southern king is out to
ensure neither of his children will survive to take the throne. Traveling
across cursed seas and treacherous kingdoms, Wil and Loom must make peace with
their pasts if they hope to secure the future of their world.
But when their plans lead them right
back to evil marveler Pahn, and to Baren—who is more dangerous than ever—can
Wil and her friends outsmart their enemies, this time for good?
