'Zeraphina and Rodden have defeated the Lharmellin leader, but could the rest of the vicious creatures still be active? The two travel across the sea in search of the elusive ingredients that will help them to destroy the Lharmellins once and for all. Along the way, shadows from Rodden's dark past come back to haunt him and Zeraphina must grapple with something more terrfying than her hunger for the north: her mother's determination to see her wayward daughter married to a prince at all costs.'
