Curiosity grows to admiration, then to a love that in the end may not be enough to protect her. Moira s enemies are closing in, intending to harness her power to restore a dark kingdom that has lain dormant for a thousand years.
There s only one, heart-wrenching way out give herself over to the full extent of her powers hoping that her true destiny lies with Kiron, and not in fulfilling a prophecy of death "
