It's been six months since Deka freed the goddesses in the ancient kingdom of Otera, and discovered who she really is... But war is waging across the kingdom, and the real battle has only just begun. For there is a dark force growing in Otera - a merciless power that Deka and her army must stop. Yet hidden secrets threaten to destroy everything Deka has known.

"Wow there was a lot going on. From healing to fighting to being hit the heart multiple times. Deka and her friends went through so much "

"The story continues to find the Nuru questioning everything about what she has been told to believe. I loved the first book so much and I loved this one as well. How we this was harder to get through for what reasons I can’t explain. It may be due to more characters to remember and their roles within the story."
