She is the only choice. She is the only choice that makes sense.           However, the purity of her bloodline is challenged and her leadership is not trusted. Now with an entire Clan willing to go to war, and no one on her side, Theresa feels defeated.           That is until she discovers Amina, a young woman, near-death in the Garden of Serene, and an indescribable pull drawing her in.           Now Theresa realises there is so much more she's willing to fight for all to protect this mysterious girl.
