When sixteen-year-old Madeline suffers her first grand mal seizure, she finds herself in an unfamiliar reality, surrounded by strangers wearing familiar faces. Her best friend, Brandon, tells her that the world has fallen to chaos, the aftermath of World War III ten years ago. Madeline doesn't remember anything from this life- especially not the explosion four years ago that killed her parents and landed her in a coma, or the Lord Commander; a zealot leader of the Southern Territories now searching for her. Madeline barely has time to process everything before waking up to the life she's always known. As soon as she dismisses it all as a strange and vivid dream, she finds herself back there once more. Unsure if she's truly caught in the middle of a brewing rebellion, or teetering on the brink of insanity, she finds herself flipping between the two lives. Her heart becomes torn between two versions of the same boy and the lines between her realities begin to blur as she struggles to save her lives in both worlds.

The final installment of the epic fantasy series Heirs of War. Word traveled quickly of Zelene's sacrifice and the power she wielded to bring back the dead, trading her own life for those her loved ones had lost. The tragic loss of a Duillaine rippled through the worlds, almost as if connected by their shared grief in unspoken agreement. Kings, queens, and peasants alike flocked to Anscombe as preparations for her funeral went on. The only problem with a funeral? You need to be dead. But Zelene wasn't about to announce that she was back in the land of the living. Taking advantage of the distraction and isolation their mourning was supposed to afford them, the Duillaine decide to set off on another rescue mission: Find Nandalia. Which meant returning to Kellen's lands and coming face to face with the threat of the Cahiran army hellbent on destroying them. With their power growing, the girls find themselves racing against fate to end the war before the prophecy can claim the ultimate sacrifice from them.

Seventeen-year-old Zelene had never believed in magic or prophecies; until the day she was attacked by an assassin with unnatural powers. Now, her life has been thrust into a war between two worlds she knows nothing about and told that she must fight against an enemy determined to snuff out her existence-all because of some ancient prophecy that claims five girls from her bloodline will unite and end the war between the worlds. The girls are taken back to their home world and discover the ties binding them together. Rhaya has always had an uncanny knack for reading people, but can't seem to unravel the mystery tying her to Isauria, the new friend she bonded with instantly. For years, Isauria has been dreaming of Terrena, a girl living her life on the run in a magical world ripped apart by the tragedies of war, completely unaware that she is psychically linked to the world she was born in. Zelene sees this connection as a prison rather than protection and can think of a place or two she'd like to shove the crown she supposedly inherited. When Zelene finds out her long-lost twin Ariana has been captured by rebels, her attitude changes abruptly. She doesn't know how she can go up against an army of powerful adversaries when her own ability to manipulate the elements remains dormant within her. But time is running out and all that matters to Zelene is rescuing her sister-no matter how much destruction it causes in its wake.

Weeks have passed since Ariana and Alec made their daring escape from Kellen's prison. But danger still looms in the distance. The guilt of his past weighs heavily on Alec's shoulders, and his secrets only push Ariana further away. As they travel through unknown lands and encounter multiple threats, their biggest challenge might be trusting one another. The outside world continues on, despite the danger Ariana is in. The Duillaine insist they are taking every measure possible to locate her, but their actions betray that claim. Despite the danger and the war closing in around them, all of Anscombe seems to be more interested in the upcoming Imbolc festival and Terrena's betrothal than rescuing Ariana. Well...not everyone. Frustrated with relying on the Duillaine to save her twin, Zelene makes a plan of her own. To her surprise, she finds an eager ally in Rhaya. But Zelene's plans go awry when she finds herself with a new ability, a mysterious new friend, and more enemies within the walls of Anscombe than she thought.

They might have won the battle to rescue Ariana, but the war is still coming... Still heavy with the weight of her losses, both those she endured and those she felt responsible for, Zelene is uncertain about what to do next. Paralyzed with grief and fear of losing anyone else, she would rather lock herself in her room with the literal ghosts of her past than take another step forward. No longer willing to be a passive participant in her fate or wait for Zelene to make a move, Terrena takes matters into her own hands. Fresh on the heels of her betrothal to Reilly, they devise a plan to unite the lands as the prophecy calls for. She begins by reaching out to the Athucreans, a fierce warrior people who raise the Cynewards that bond with the Duillaine. Determined to honor Kenward, Terrena ignores the warnings that the warrior race would rather see their heads on spikes than make peace. When familiar faces find their way back into their lives and those they thought they could trust turning against them, the bonds holding the young Duillaine together start to fracture. The girls struggle to win the war against their grief and keep hold of their growing power before it consumes them all.
