Join Arden as her journey reaches new heights in the captivating fourth installment of the Shadow Crown series by International Amazon Bestselling Author Kristen Martin.Another brush with death. Another chance at life.Having barely escaped a local tavern fire at what appears to be the hands of the Mallum, Arden Eliri finds herself disoriented, but safe and unharmed back in Orihia. Thankfully, it seems the Mallum hadn't absorbed her abilities, otherwise restricting her access to the illusié haven—and her fellow Caldari.Meanwhile, in Trendalath, King Darius Tymond has recruited a new group of Cruex assassins, of which his recently returned son, and heir to the throne, is an active member. But the king will soon discover that his son's intentions aren't all they're cracked up to be—and that he's in much more danger than he realized.In the north, Queen Cerylia Jareth is desperate to regain her own illusié abilities as the Mallum's presence looms. Her search only becomes more complex—and more perilous—with each thwarted attempt; that is, until a Caldari arrives with just the news she'd hoped for.However treacherous, the Caldari eventually find their way back to one another, and, in doing so, happen to stumble upon a mystifying cave in the waterfalls of Orihia. A cave that leaves them with more questions than it does answers. But the deeper they're willing to venture, the more they begin to uncover—and what awaits them on the other side is more astonishing than anything they could have bargained for.
