Two hearts, one tear. . . .

Sarah Lind has discovered over half of the moongates hidden across the Six Realms that she will need to return to Earth. Not only that, the dragon-shifter Heir of Flame cares for her, and the magical bond forged between them grows stronger by the day.

Yet Sarah's choice of whether to embrace her destiny is still far from simple, especially with the rising movement calling Sarah the long-promised Moondaughter, crushing her with the weight of their hopes, and the Tree's injunction that the future Queen of Ice must marry the future King of Flame.

Sarah loves Ben . . . but does she have the courage to become his Queen?

Koriben Sunfilled can hardly believe that Sarah wants him. With their goal just within reach, and the promised cure for his dying father that much closer, for a moment he soars higher than ever before.

Yet when someone he once trusted strikes again, this time endangering both him and his cousin, he isn't sure how to keep going, let alone bear the fear of losing Sarah too. But with another now vying for Sarah's heart, he just might lose her in another way.

Ben loves Sarah . . . but does he have the strength to let her love him in return?

With only four days left before the Devourer's invasion, neither of them have much time to find the answers. Yet if they don't . . .

. . . the darkness could tear them apart.
