Valerie is living her happily ever after, while Amelia is trapped in a nightmare.

Amelia loves love. She assumes her choice of a partner would last a lifetime. Desperate to hide any signs of weakness from her mate, Amelia lies her way through, clinging onto the hope that he'll someday love her. All the while keeping secrets that could destroy their fragile bond.

As the chills of a mountain castle haunt her, she chases the never-ending well of her promised powers. She ignores all warning signs in her quest for power, which leads her to unlikely allies and reveals dangerous secrets about her bloodline.

But Amelia is unaware that feelings can merge in the shadows, and the truths that remain will shatter everyone.

Even her.

Lured to a mystical land, Valeri must learn to harness a power deep within her.
Orphaned at a young age, sisters Valeri and Amelia shouldered the household responsibilities in their small village of Noor. Valeri was the hunter; Amelia the gatherer. While fishing one day, Valeri follows her instinct into the depths of the ocean despite a raging storm. She discovers the Mother of Pearl shell - which unbeknownst to her, unlocks the secrets of her ancestral power.
Knocked unconscious by the storm and washed ashore in a foreign land, she soon realizes she is thousands of miles from her sister, and there are wicked plans afoot. As she struggles to find a way to return home to her sister, Valeri befriends Prince Rulin at the magical court. In each other, they find purpose. But she must harness the newfound power within her blood first.

Bounded lovers separated by a magical barrier must find their way back to each other.

Valeri braces the dangers of the enchanted wall in an attempt to regain her sister's trust. As an overprotective sister, Valeri walks a precarious line between telling the truth and keeping information hidden from her sister, Amelia, all the while on the edge of losing her loyalty.

Valeri's life is completely upended by the sudden shift in her magical abilities. Alarmed after suffering another loss to Rulin's cruelty, Valeri reunites with old friends. But after she makes a deal with the enemy, giving up a part of herself may be the only way to prevent destruction.

In pursuit of power, both Nicholai and Valeri must choose. Power or love. Life or death.
