Sorrena Faelan is the heir to the matriarchal region of Thornwythe, and the last obstacle in her path to crown is passing the Anama Trials; a series of test that will push her mind, body, and spirit to the limits. If she endures, she will bond with her eternal raven spirit and access her shadow magic.

What she wasn't planning on? Her childhood friend (who is now incredibly hot), a golden-boy trainer that hates her for reasons she can't fathom but finds herself drawn to anyway, and an arranged marriage to the prince of a rival kingdom.

But worse than the Trials and her three love interests is a war that is brewing between the rich and the poor, and the more Sorrena sees of the Trials, the more she suspects the entire system is rigged. And she shouldn't get involved--but when it becomes obvious that it's all tied to her brother's killer, she'll risk everything to get to the truth.

Her throne. Her life. And Orenda itself.
