In the third book of this thrilling fantasy series a twelve-year-old nonbinary knight-in-training, a reluctant crown prince, a fierce young witch, and her troubled twin brother fight for the heart of their kingdom in a medieval world of dragons and magic.
Being a hero is nothing like the ballads promised it would be. Scattered across the realm, Callie, Willow, Elowen, and Edwyn have learned that when the fate of their world is at stake, choices are hard and the consequences are harder, even when striving for good.
Hunted by both Helston and Dumoor, Callie and Willow flee to the walled city of Fairkeep in a last-ditch effort to find allies. Meanwhile, at Alis’s side, Elowen grapples with a battle between her heart and her ambition as the Witch Queen’s new protégé. Edwyn, desperate to prove himself as brave as his friends, accepts a mission that takes him back to the source of his nightmares: home. Helston.
Faced with the reality of a devastating war, all four champions are forced to confront the very parts of themselves they fear most, and each must do it alone. But how can they find the truth within a kingdom founded on lies?

      Torn apart by war, Callie, Willow, Elowen, and Edwyn confront new enemies, grapple with difficult decisions, and rally the courage to fight for a better future. Callie and Willow, exiled to Eyrewood after escaping Helston, wait and train for their next battle. Guilt and worry eat away at Callie's patience as the adults hesitate to plan their next move. Any day now, the forces of Helston or Alis, the Witch Queen of Dumoor, could attack. Meanwhile, Elowen swears an oath to Alis, who promises to make Elowen her heir. By remaining at the Witch Queen's side, Elowen plans to protect everyone she loves, but as Alis makes demands of her trust and dismisses her concerns, Elowen starts to question whether she's made the right decision. Edwyn never wanted to return to Helston or to see his father again, but now he rides beside him on a secret mission to prove his loyalty and atone for betraying Alis. More than anything, Edwyn wants to prove his bravery to himself. This third installment continues to expand the world around Callie and their friends, increasing the stakes and scope of the imminent war. Identity and autonomy remain core themes of the story. Symes-Smith builds momentum and suspense right up to the cliffhanger ending by alternating among the perspectives of the four main characters. Callie, Willow, Elowen, and Edwyn are cued white; the world around them reflects racial diversity. A page-turning continuation of an adventuresome series. (author's note)(Fantasy. 8-12)
