Saffron Coulter has returned from the fantasy kingdom of Kena. Threatened with a stay in psychiatric care, Saffron has to make a choice- to forget about Kena and fit back into the life she’s outgrown-or pit herself against everything she’s ever known and everyone she loves. Meanwhile, in Kena, Gwen is increasingly troubled by the absence of Leoden-the cruel ruler of the kingdom-and his plans for the captive worldwalkers. Elsewhere, Yena must confront the deposed Kadeja in Veksh. What is their endgame? Who can they trust? And what will happen when Leoden returns?
