The adventure continues as Lake races to recover what some call "the power of the universe"--The Crown. A mysterious, alien-made gauntlet that bonds to the flesh and seemingly grants every desire to cross the mind of the wearer. Recently having fallen into the wrong hands, the universe is in grave danger and the Galactic Military is on a mission to prevent the plans that organized crime lord--Mr. Victor, has in store. Along for the ride to the frozen planet Hail, Lake and her friends attempt not to step on anyone's toes as they prepare for their own agenda. However they have no such luck when it turns out a pompous double-agent, spy is out to stand in her way at every turn. Lake may have more difficulty than she'd thought in reclaiming what she believes is rightfully meant for her. Of course it only makes matters worse when she declares herself the sworn nemesis of the spy who turns out to be half Azorian... With every new revelation, Lake begins to question and even doubt herself, helped along by the unabashed opinions of her friends who believe she should give up the Crown for her own good. Do they really have her best interests at heart, can she trust them? And is it even worth it? Lake makes a discovery that may very well lead her to reconsider how she feels about her allies when she is addressed by another... Is Lake the hero the universe is going to need? Can the Crown fix all her problems? Will she fall to her inner struggle of accepting who she is? Or is it all a cleverly designed distraction to keep from facing the real demon that's been plaguing her mind--HIM. The path to self-discovery has never been more emotional...more physical...more PAINFUL.

Of all those in the King of Alden’s retinue, the bloodbinders are the most prized. The magic they wield can forge invaluable weapons, ones that make soldiers like Lady Alix Black unerringly lethal. However, the bloodbinders’ powers can do so much more—and so much worse… A cunning and impetuous scout, Alix only wishes to serve quietly on the edges of the action. But when the king is betrayed by his own brother and left to die at the hands of attacking Oridian forces, she winds up single-handedly saving her sovereign. Suddenly, she is head of the king’s personal guard, an honor made all the more dubious by the king’s exile from his own court. Surrounded by enemies, Alix must help him reclaim his crown, all the while attempting to repel the relentless tide of invaders led by the Priest, most feared of Oridia’s lords. But while Alix’s king commands her duty, both he and a fellow scout lay claim to her heart. And when the time comes, she may need to choose between the two men who need her most…

The bonds of family, love, and loyalty are pushed to their limits in this thrilling conclusion to the epic saga started in The Bloodbound... As the war between Alden and Oridia draws to an end, the fates of both kingdoms rest on the actions of a select group of individuals—and, of course, on the unbreakable bonds of blood... Unbeknownst to most of Alden, King Erik, in thrall to a cruel bloodbinder, is locked away in his own palace, plotting revenge. To save her king, Lady Alix must journey behind enemy lines to destroy the bloodbinder. But her quest will demand sacrifices that may be more than she can bear. Meanwhile, as the Warlord of Oridia tightens his grip on Alden, the men Alix loves face equally deadly tasks: Her husband, Liam, must run a country at war while her brother, Rig, fights a losing battle on the front lines. If either of them fails, Alden could be lost—and even if they succeed, their efforts may be too late to save everyone Alix holds dear... From the Paperback edition.
