Akira Muro believed she would die protecting Caldala on her final mission, but death was denied her. Now, she faces the challenges of living beyond the secretive veil of the Ambassador Core. With two men from her past vying for her future, Akira must choose between them. KilronanÑthe childhood love sheÕs never forgottenÑpulled her from death, but Isfail gave her the strength to endure the dark past that continues to haunt her.
For a chance at happiness, Akira will fight to leave deadly intrigues behind and escape the sinister manipulations of Karsh, the leader of the Ambassador service.
When assassins target Akira, a new danger looms over the force-gifted of her country. A cult known as The Bow vows to destroy those who can wield elemental or psychic powers. Will Akira be able to heal the rift between the powerful Ambassador service and the Caldalan government, or will KarshÕs fear of AkiraÕs deadly abilities turn the prince and parliament against her?
