Serena Smith is unusual.
Growing up in a backwoods village, her life is lonely and dull. Then, on her eighteenth birthday, she's gifted a magical heirloom, only to have it snatched by the fae and to be condemned to a lifetime in chains.
Dragged to Aldar, a fae kingdom ruled by a tyrant witch, Serena discovers a forbidden love and meets fellow outcasts, each with their own dark secrets.
As the lives of warriors, rebels, and witches clash, they find a shared destiny. Only together — and with Serena's unique gifts — can they survive long enough to kindle the flames of a revolution. Only together can they go to war.
The brightest of stars are always born on the darkest of nights.
