Publisher's Synopsis
The most dangerous enemy is the one within yourself... Kiriana Ithinar and her brother Guardians have delivered Crown Prince Vannisarian to his parents and safety in the Hili wetlands, but a Guardian's work is never done. While Vann struggles to gain diplomatic favor with a bitter and oppressed Hilian people, Kir is faced with a battle on her own front in the form of her greatest adversary. Kir and Vann trip over the realization that their hearts are on a collision course, and Kir finds that her two new obsessions come wrapped in bonds of love, and hate. With evidence of the King's intent to invoke the Chaos Bringer prophecy, Kir is embroiled in a conspiracy that could make her the betrayer she no longer wants to be. Vann learns that when you seek the heart of a dragon, you just might find it. And Gods help you when you do.
