Betrayed by the man she once worshipped, Mirana Pinal must finish the quest for Jasal's Keep with help of an enemy. As she races to save her people, the Fal'kin infiltrate the Dark Trine's stronghold to discover the warlord's plans for conquest. For Teague Beltran, however, the mission is much more personal. His mother has been captured by the Ken'nar, and he will stop at nothing to rescue her. If Mirana gives the Dark Trine the key to the Keep's power, she can save Kinderra from destruction but would put her homeland into the hands of a tyrant. If she finds a way to unleash the Keep's power herself, she can defeat the Dark Trine, but she must sacrifice her beloved Teague - and far more. At last, her destiny is upon her.
