Anna is hurled into a world she neither knows nor understands. Darius must keep Anna safe from her Father's seekers until she is trained how to fight. Anna must come to terms with whom, and what she really is, as her powers start to manifest and her wings start to emerge. Anna's father needs her by his side in order to rule the world. When Anna is brought to her father's keep she learns that her nightmare is real. She also learns that no one can be trusted, not even herself.
