Lily Adams is certain of one thing. The dreams she's been having are the memories of her late father. What she can't figure out is why it shows something that hasn't happened yet. Hidden away in the human world by her father to protect her, unaware of her origins or who she really is, Lily Adams, the Heir of Light, lives a rather plain life. But when her father is murdered, visions of the Land she is supposed to rule arise, plaguing her with sleep deprivation. After seven restless months, her little village is shaken up by an unearthly energy belonging to none other than Ares Blythe, a black-winged Alatain, who whisks her away from her mundane home to seek this land of her dreams and all the questions it poses. He takes her on a journey to learn about the magic of the sun and the powers the People of Light hold. With a rebellion of black-winged outcasts who have her back and an army of Red Soldiers who hunt her down, she soon discovers that saving the Banned and honoring her father's memory comes with doubt, fear, and distrust. Driven to understand the meaning behind her visions and learn about her heritage, Lily follows Ares down a dangerous path, shielded by seven Guards, into the Land of Light.
