Nowhere to turn. The story of Frey continues in the second book of the series. Frey had lived in a world where humans were fairy tales. A world where she believed she'd been wrongfully accused. All that had changed. After revealing her dark history, Frey has no choice in her allies. Her old life is the enemy. She needs their protection. Forced to join with a group of strangers whose pasts seem to intertwine with her own, she struggles to regain her memories and her full power, only to find there is more danger on the other side. Except now, there is no going back.

Nothing is as it seems. Frey's life is a lie. She doesn't remember being bound from magic. She didn't intend to discover this dangerous secret, to get entangled in Council business. But she did. And now she's on the run. With the aid of a stranger, she discovers a world beyond the elves who bound her. But it's a world of shadows and dark magic, a world she's been warned not to trust. The farther she strays, the more she finds a forgotten past. As she fights to reclaim her true identity, Council trackers hunt her down. If they find her, she will burn. The stranger offers her a way out, but it's a path of no return. How do you know who to believe when you don't even know who you are?

The storm was only the beginning... Mackenzie Scott is trapped in another realm, but that's the least of her problems. Magic runs through her veins, and even now she can feel herself changing. She's managed to help her brother, but in exchange, she's turning into one of them. Worse, Mackenzie's not just a monster. She's their queen. Hunter had one job: open the gateway between worlds to keep his realm alive. He hadn't counted on betrayal. He hadn't counted on being saved by a human girl. And he'd never guessed he couldn't trust his own king. Now he's trapped in a world to which he can never truly belong. Separated by realms, Mackenzie and Hunter must save the other's world. But the divide isn't the only thing working against them. Beasts and men fight a dangerous battle that pits Hunter and Mackenzie against those they're trying to protect. And the clock is ticking.

According to prophecy, Brianna Drake was born to save the world. The trouble is, she doesn't have the slightest idea how. Her visions should have given her the answer, but they're beginning to shift, making the danger too unpredictable, even for a prophet. If she can just help her sister restore their hidden powers, she might be able to stop what's coming. But an old enemy returns, and he's got plans for Brianna and her visions. What neither of them knows is that fate has given a stranger one chance to find her. He was trained to protect the chosen-but if he fails, the future will crumble.
