Sixteen-year-old Kyra's return to Ilian is anything but ordinary. After a year without memories and living in an unfamiliar world, she discovered she was a wizard with powerful—and dangerous—abilities. Reunited with her friends and her mentor, Kyra learned that Diamantas, the charismatic leader of Harkimer, was hunting her. She battled dark wizards, escaped imprisonment, and faced hideous creatures before uncovering that she was destined to save Ilian—or bring it to ruin.

Torn between duty and fear, Kyra sets out alone to fight Diamantas. But Diamantas has other plans: together with allies from Thanesgard, he prepares to launch an invasion of the kingdom of Hogarth.

As her friends struggle against treachery and deadly traps in the Elven Realm, Kуга must survive attacks by enemies old and new—before Diamantas achieves his first conquest.
