The stunning sequel to The Befallen delves deeper into the world of the Capella Realm.

Sir Tolvar-famed knight, the Wolf, redeemed and reborn-is finally home. Striving to establish his new life, he takes his rightful place as the Earl of Askella. But soon after, he's tasked by the sovereign to find the missing StarSeer, Elanna-gifted with the power to See the future in the stars-who has mysteriously fled her sacred city. Tolvar has the strange and irritating sense that new adventures are just beginning.

Yet once Elanna is found, she reveals that the Capella Realm's imminent doom approaches and they must act with haste. Tolvar swears to protect her. But the unknown forces they battle feel all too familiar. And still troubled by his past, and vexed with an itch for vengeance, Tolvar may not be as keen a knight as Elanna's quest requires. But if Tolvar cannot keep his word and safeguard Elanna as she strives to preserve the fortune of the realm, 'twill not only mean the extinction of the StarSeer's Light, but the shattering of an empire.
