Kiva escapes a lethal jail and enters a false palace, trading one cage for another.
One survivor is Kiva Meridan.
She not only escaped the deathly Trial by Ordeal, but also the confines of Zalindov jail. Kiva's goal now extends beyond survival to include retribution. Her primary objective for the last 10 years has been to get back together with her family and kill the individuals who have ruined their life. However, after leaving Zalindov, her duty has become more difficult.
Kiva learns as she gets used to her new life in the capital that her siblings also experienced hardships while they were in Zalindov, and their perspectives have also evolved. She will soon be hiding secrets from her own family in addition to her foes.
There are rebel-related tensions beyond the city walls, as well as rumours of an increasing danger from the northern kingdoms. Even while Kiva's allegiances are more crucial than ever, she's starting to wonder where they really stand. This time, she has to work her way through a convoluted web of falsehoods to live before the enemy turns on her and she loses everything.
