Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen. Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward. Lia always believed the Vendans to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country... and her own destiny.

 "But the fact is, I came for you, Lia, no matter who or what you are, and I don't care what mistakes I made or what mistakes you made. I'd make every single one again, if that was the only way to be with you."

His eyes sparked with frustration. "I want to explain everything. I want to spend a lifetime with you making up for the lies I told, but right now we don't have time.”

I went back to my thoughts of Lia. How could I tell her that I knew in my gut from almost the beginning that we were to be together? That I had seen myself growing old with with her. That a gift l wasn't even sure she really possessed had told me her name long before I ever laid eves on her.
