Summary
Mateless. Dead. The Heir of Darkness was supposed to be a
thing of the past, a dark stain on Lahkia's otherwise peaceful
history. Now, ten generations later, young Azura is
eavesdropping on a secret meeting among Lahkia's leaders and
she's hearing some strange things. Something called a Saghki
exists, and someone who calls himself the Heir of Darkness is
leading them. Whoever he is, whatever Saghki are, they're
demanding that Lahkia turn over 500 children from each
territory or face the consequences. Azura must learn to use her
instincts, trust in unexpected friendships, and believe in
herself as she strives to unearth the Heir's identity and save
Lahkia from falling into a terrible war.
