An ancient spell has returned, but it has not brought the long-awaited peace to the Lightwood.
Fights between people and sorcerers do not cease, and it seems that only in Nzhi-Nalabakh, the city in the clouds, can one escape from the awakened Monstrous Horde.
But it is dangerous there as well. To survive, the former sorceress Lesena must hide the truth about herself from the sorcerers and their lord, the Midday King.
Now, when pretense becomes a cruel game, the one who uncovers their opponent's true face first will win.
And Lesena must do this before her beloved, who has become an enemy, and a friend who has betrayed her trust meet on the battlefield, and the world falls under the tread of the Monstrous Horde.
The hour has come,
The answers are getting closer.
Let the Gods laugh, watching.
For even they do not know,
Whose heart
Will burn
This time.
