It’s impossible to escape a fate already written, but she tried, and now she has to live with the consequences.

Janelle Duelo has finally reached freedom, but it tastes borrowed. She knows it’s only a matter of time before her fate catches up with her, but this time she is ready to face it.

The King of Puerto Quinn wants the Red Book back and offers Janelle an opportunity to make amends. She might be the only person who can find the book, but she can’t do it alone. Returning to the cage she escaped from to betray her own sounds unthinkable, but there’s no other choice she can live with. Walking away was the bravest thing she ever did. This time, that won’t be enough. Restoring her family's name could be a deadly undertaking. She got out once, but can she do it again?

Jesse Oscuro is the Lord of Wisdom, but when it comes to his feelings for Janelle Duelo, he has conflicting loyalties. He knows he should hate her, but that is hard to do when his entire life he has loved her. His eyes can never see her the same again, but staying away might not be a choice he is willing to entertain.

A debt needs to be paid, and the price requires a sacrifice no one is willing to make. Conflicting loyalties, broken promises, and leaps of faith will determine the fate of the continent.
