With their kingdom in ruins, Dorian and Nyssari Eaglefyre must make a choice. Remain bound to the kingdom and people that betrayed their family and live their lives in silence, or run and be declared traitors of the realm. Choosing exile, they'll leave their crowns behind and travel south to fulfill the promises they made to Haerland's true High King and Queen: protect Haerland from the strangers invading their shores. To do this, they'll have to go their separate ways. Dorian to the Blackhand Mountains, where he must secure aid and shelter from the Blackhands for the war. Nyssa to the Umber, where she must attempt to gather the help of the Honest people and then travel to negotiate peace with the foreign King. Nyssa must choose to follow her heart or fulfill her duty, for if she cannot, she runs the risk of not only never securing an alliance from the Honest, but also ruining the trust they have in their Commander. Dorian must face trial in the Blackhand town of Dahrkenhill. Despite their High Elder being a friend, the remainder of the people believes him to be a traitor and the reason for the fall of their King. He must prove his innocence to secure the aid the Blackhands had once promised them. But Haerland continues to hide secrets. And the cursed race they'd thought they'd defeated has a darker plan for them all. This book is part of an adult dark high fantasy series and is intended only for persons 18 years of age or older.

"Vivid characters, terrifying monsters, and world building as deep and dark as the ocean." --Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Queen I am Henrietta Howel. The first female sorcerer in hundreds of years. The prophesied one. Or am I? Henrietta Howel can burst into flames. Forced to reveal her power to save a friend, she's shocked when instead of being executed, she's invited to train as one of Her Majesty's royal sorcerers. Thrust into the glamour of Victorian London, Henrietta is declared the chosen one, the girl who will defeat the Ancients, bloodthirsty demons terrorizing humanity. She also meets her fellow sorcerer trainees, handsome young men eager to test her power and her heart. One will challenge her. One will fight for her. One will betray her. But Henrietta Howel is not the chosen one. As she plays a dangerous game of deception, she discovers that the sorcerers have their own secrets to protect. With battle looming, what does it mean to not be the one? And how much will she risk to save the city—and the one she loves? Exhilarating and gripping, Jessica Cluess's spellbinding fantasy introduces a powerful, unforgettably heroine, and a world filled with magic, romance, and betrayal. Hand to fans of Libba Bray, Sarah J. Maas, and Cassandra Clare. "The magic! The intrigue! The guys! We were sucked into this monster-ridden, alternative England from page one. Henrietta is literally a 'girl on fire' and this team of sorcerers training for battle had a pinch of Potter blended with a drop of [Cassandra Clare's] Infernal Devices." --Justine Magazine "Cluess gamely turns the chosen-one trope upside down in this smashing dark fantasy." --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Unputdownable. I loved the monsters, the magic, and the teen warriors who are their world's best hope!

Four girls with the power to control the elements and save the world from a terrible evil must come together in the first epic novel in a brand-new series. When Phantoms--massive beasts made from nightmares and darkness--suddenly appeared and began terrorizing the world, four girls, the Effigies, each gained a unique power to control one of the classical elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Since then, four girls across the world have continually fought against the Phantoms, fulfilling their cosmic duty. And when one Effigy dies, another girl gains her power as a replacement. But now, with technologies in place to protect the world's major cities from Phantom attacks, the Effigies have stopped defending humanity and, instead, have become international celebrities, with their heroic feats ranked, televised, and talked about in online fandoms. Until the day that New York City's protection against the Phantoms fails, a man seems to be able to control them by sheer force of will, and Maia, a high school student, unexpectedly becomes the Fire Effigy. Now Maia has been thrown into battle with three girls who want nothing to do with one another. But with the first human villain that the girls have ever faced, and an army of Phantoms preparing for attack, there isn't much time for the Effigies to learn how to work together. Can the girls take control of their destinies before the world is destroyed forever?
