THE SEQUEL TO THE ACCLAIMED THE SHADOWY CITY Although Tasceron has fallen and the Emperor is dead, rumors swirl that the heir to the throne is still alive. If true, she finds herself in grave danger, especially if she falls into the hands of the Watchers. As a legitimate descendant of Anara's original rulers, she could be the key to ending their reign of tyranny. But the Watchers don't know she exists... yet. It's up to Galen and Raffi to find the lost heir before their enemies do. To do so, they must decide whether or not to trust Carys, the Watcher spy who accompanied them on their adventure to Tasceron. Will Carys help the guardian and his apprentice, or will she betray her secrets to the Watchers?
