She was taken into an unfamiliar home and given a false name. She was told what to say, how to walk, and what to love. The Emperor's old law made her a faceless double of the Viceroy of the West's daughter, whose only task is to save the life of someone more important, more valuable, and richer at the cost of her freedom. She has only six months left until the end of her pretense, until she returns to the Temple of the Western Dragon—the only place she can call home.

Everything changes overnight, the sky is covered by clouds, and the truths of the past are revealed as lies. Does she even have a chance for freedom, or is her old goal insignificant in light of the revealed truth?

A new series by Leah Arden, author of the Mara and Morok books and the Descendants of the First tetralogy!

The first part of a dilogy in the Asian fantasy genre. A world inspired by Korean mythology.

The subtle flavor of an Asian setting intertwines with ancient legends, taking you on a wondrous journey through the world of Khorin, where Great Dragons guard the peace of people, where old friendships are tested and feuds arise, and friends stand shoulder to shoulder in the face of a new threat.

A tender love story unfolds against the backdrop of majestic Temples and Sacred Trees, while the heroes mature and become stronger under the pressure of circumstances.

The total circulation of Leah Arden's books exceeds half a million copies!
