At the end of The Midnight Lie, Nirrim offered up her heart to the God of Thieves in order to restore her people's memories of their city's history. The Half Kith who once lived imprisoned behind the city's wall now realize that many among them are powerful. Meanwhile, the person Nirrim once loved most, Sid, has returned to her home country of Herran, where she must navigate the politics of being a rogue princess who has finally agreed to do her duty. In the Herrani court, rumors begin to grow of a new threat rising in the south sea, of unleashed magic, and of a cruel, black-haired queen who can push false memories into your mind. Sid doesn't know that this queen is Nirrim, who seeks her revenge against a world that has wronged her. Can Sid save Nirrim from herself? Does Nirrim even want to be saved?

Intrigue, romance, and magic abound in Marie Rutkoski's second novel in the Forgotten Gods YA fantasy duology, following the heartstopping cliffhanger at the end of the The Midnight Lie.
