But Jahan Korakides is also broken; haunted by memories of the woman who experimented on him and his brothers as children.So when the empire threatens war in retribution for Elanna'
s illegal sorcery, Jahan leaves Eren to negotiate with the emperor on Queen Sophy'
s behalf. But the world he left has changed - riots rock the city of Ida, his brother is missing and the crown prince refuses to speak to him.
Jahan'
s only hope of success seems to lie with the rebels in Ida. Yet, if he joins them, he will merely spur on the war he'
s desperate to avoid, and risk revealing himself as a sorcerer.
And then the witch hunters arrive at court, bringing Elanna in chains.
