Still, she helps her father Rugar head the invasion force.

The force meets a surprising resistance. Nicholas, heir to Blue Isle's throne, has always dreamed of battle. Normally, he would be no match for the powerful Fey.

Jewel must find a way to thwart him. To survive, one of them must make the ultimate sacrifice.

He's after not only the strategic island, but he's also after his own great-grandchildren. The oldest of those children has just come of age. He's first in line to inherit Blue Isle's throne. But as Rugad appears on Blue Isle, that Isle's King Nicholas must move beyond guerrilla war to an out-and-out fight for dominance, using a magic created in the union of Fey and Islander, a magic that no one from Rugad to Nicholas himself could ever have expected.

Her brother Gift, the legitimate heir to the Fey Empire. He doesn't know enough magic to save her, but he will find someone who can. But the Black Throne itself has other ideas. It wants Gift to rule the Fey. To do so, he must betray his family, betray his heritage, betray everything he believes in.

The magic confuses, the Throne tempts, and his sister's mind seems gone. Gift must make the right choice or doom everyone--and everything.
