About this listen
Rose is being hunted. Her escape has taken her to the lair of an ancient and powerful witch, a woman whose fate is linked with her own in a way she could never have imagined.
"The truth, my dear Rose, is only ever an opinion, never a fact. Whereas a lie...A lie can make speaking the truth a terrorist act."
After uncovering a deceit of epic proportions, Rose must decide whom she can trust. She has already lost one friend. Now, as she journeys through an eerie, snow-covered wasteland of dragons and Fae, can she avoid losing more?

A Great Winged One will soon arise and cast his fearsome shadow upon the land.

Carnissa Gardner, the last prophesied Black Witch, drove back the enemy forces and saved her people during the Realm War. Now a new evil is on the horizon, and her granddaughter, Elloren, is believed to be Carnissa's heir—but utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above nearly all else.
