How can she defeat the enemy who'll outlive her no matter what she does? In a world of Darkdays and Brightnights, it's been centuries since the Eudaimonians lost their thrones and their lives. Their descendants live in secret, hiding their identities and their Gifts-Logic, Linguistic, Magic, Music, and Aesthetic. Sixteen-year-old orphan Elwyn is the first in history to inherit two Gifts. She's desperate to be free, but she's confined to a safehouse to hide from Solun, the immortal Sovereign who killed the ancient Eudaimonians and hunts their Heirs. When Elwyn finds out the ones who protected her lied, she and her best friend Neilan flee the safehouse. But when Solun's men close in, should she protect herself or sacrifice her chance for freedom to help another?
