With her friend gone and the man who killed her on the run, Piper is prepared to fight for custody of both Caleb and Madelyn. But when they are taking from her, Piper is accused of a murder she didn't commit.
Forced into hiding, Piper soon discovers that someone she swore to find is in the neighbouring country of Elaros. The only way to find them is to sneak out of Silvaein - under the army's very noses.
Alone and without allies, Piper must navigate a foreign culture without revealing she is a woman - until she uncovers a clue that could lead to her acquittal.
