Although Brienne of Eile has finally broken free of the Morrigan's grasp, the new life awaiting her in Firiehn may prove to be just as dangerous. Hoping for a fresh start with Dorran, Brie agrees to join her cru-athru lover as he journeys back to the kingdom of Astorelle. But navigating courtly politics may prove to be just as difficult as her previous life, especially since the witch who cursed Dorran is still unaccounted for. With her safety and her heart at risk, Brienne will have to confront her demons - and ignite her own fire - if she wishes to protect the ones she holds most dear.
