In this follow-up to the overnight New York Times blockbuster Furyborn, two queens who have been separated for a millennium but are linked by lies and secrets must go on their battle amidst treacherous schemes and unbelievable betrayals that will put their fortitude—as well as their hearts—to the test.

Although Rielle Dardenne has been crowned Sun Queen, her ordeal is far from concluded. The gate that keeps the angels out is collapsing. Rielle needs to gather the seven saints' hidden castings in order to fix it. In the meantime, Rielle must spy on the angel Corien in order to assist her prince and love Audric in protecting Celdaria; yet, Corien's offers of freedom and power might be too alluring to refuse.

After many centuries, Eliana Ferracora struggles to accept her new identity as the Sun Queen, the long-awaited rescuer of humanity. But Eliana's power remains unpredictable and dangerous because of her dread of corruption, her fear of becoming another Rielle. Eliana, pursued by everyone and in a race against time to save her friend Navi who is dying, must choose whether to accept her mother's magic or to reject it permanently.
