The first book in an epic, heart-pounding fantasy duology about two royal heirs, who are engaged and yet their loyalties are torn as a ruthless enemy threatens their world, perfect for fans of The Tiger at Midnight, We Hunt the Flame, and An Ember in the Ashes. Adraa and Jatin are heirs to the thrones of neighboring kindoms and each extraordinarily talented in the nine colors of magic. Their arranged marriage will unite much of Wickery's fractured world but, after years of rivalry from afar, they only agree on one thing: their reunion will be anything but sweet. Except destiny has other plans and with the criminal underbelly of Belwar making a move for control, their paths cross...and neither realizes who the other is, each of them having adopted a secret identity. Amidst dodging deathly spells, Adraa and Jatin must learn to put their trust in the other if either is to uncover the real threat. Now Wickery's fate is in the hands of rivals..? Fiancées? Partners? Whatever they are, it's complicated and bound for greatness or destruction.

After a magical eruption devastates the kingdom of Belwar, royal heir Adraa is falsely accused of masterminding the destruction and forced to stand trial in front of her people, who see her as a monster. Adraa's punishment? Imprisonment in the Dome, an impenetrable, magic-infused fortress filled with Belwar's nastiest criminals--many of whom Adraa put there herself. And they want her to pay. Jatin, the royal heir to Naupure, has been Adraa's betrothed, nemesis, and fellow masked vigilante ... but now he's just a boy waiting to ask her the biggest question of their lives. First, though, he's going to have to do the impossible: break Adraa out of the Dome. And he won't be able to do it without help from the unlikeliest of sources--a girl from his past with a secret that could put them all at risk. Time is running out, and the horrors Adraa faces in the Dome are second only to the plot to destabilize and destroy their kingdoms. But Adraa and Jatin have saved the world once already. ... Now, can they save themselves?

Ein Vulkanausbruch hat das Königreich Belwar erschüttert - und Thronerbin Adraa wird zu Unrecht beschuldigt, ihn verursacht zu haben. Zur Strafe muss sie ins Gefängnis, und das ohne Zugriff auf ihre Magie. In der undurchdringlichen Festung sitzen die übelsten Kriminellen ein. Viele von ihnen hat Adraa selbst dort hineingebracht. Und nun wollen sie Rache. Jatin glaubt an Adraas Unschuld und möchte um ihre Hand anhalten - falls er je den Mut findet, sie zu fragen. Zuerst muss er jedoch das Unmögliche schaffen: ihr zur Flucht aus dem Gefängnis verhelfen. Und die Schrecken, denen Adraa dort begegnet, sind noch nicht das Schlimmste, was sie bekämpfen müssen ...
