Rinnaya Burgheim played right into the Revival's hands when she survived the attack of undead clones and activated her death affinity. Now, her worst nightmare is her reality-they kidnapped Liam.
Forced into isolation for her own safety, Rin battles to control her death affinity. But seclusion and unsettling discoveries about her family twist her power into a volatile force that threatens to consume her. Hiding won't help. To get close enough to foil the Revival's plans, they need to think Rin believes in their cause.
Balancing a fine line of deception, Rin can only trust her friends, especially Johanna who understands Rin better than anyone through her unique Soul Tether. Together, they work to free Liam and unravel an ancient feud between the Emberstead and Ironskin Lineages. But what will Rin and Johanna sacrifice to unlock their true power and avoid repeating their ancestors' atrocities?
