Publisher's Synopsis
It's been days since the sanctuary showdown. Feral demons are still on the loose. The ones that have been caught are pushing Zaraltrac Prison past its limits. The Coven is still picking up the pieces of the former blue cloaks' betrayal. And Thea...Thea is bored. She hasn't been given an assignment yet, and it's driving her crazy to be kept away from the action.
That is until Second Chosen Winona waltzes into her presence once again, and she has more dirt on Thea than the Spellweaver ever thought possible. Now she is given the choice: life in prison for her crimes, or be tasked with finding a cure for the incurable Medusa's Kiss. Winona isn't leaving them high and dry, though. She has a lead, but this will send both Thea and Rafe, now accompanied by two strange, not-so-new companions, into parts of Aeristria many have not visited before. And what they discover will change their entire world as they know it. But that's not all. The clock is ticking on what little life remains in Cressida, and the cure for Medusa's Kiss can surely cure the dark magic urges surging through her veins...or can it? As Thea and Rafe race after legends in the Golden Sea Desert looking for answers, the Coven is preparing for an all out assault from the blood mages as the Blood Moon Festival draws nearer. Will Thea and Rafe make it back before the carnage kicks off, or will they find themselves in the heart of what could possibly be their last battle?
