Luna Morrenden doesn't have what it takes to fulfill her destiny as heir to the throne of the Fulminian Desert. As a descendant of the two strongest bloodlines of sun-wielders - mortals who harness solar magic - she should be an unmatched force. But Luna's abilities are ordinary at best, her power slow to build and quick to deplete. For the first time since the Elemental War, an heir exists whose reign could be threatened by her weakness if the citizens of Averian were to learn the truth. Time is running out, as she is just two months away from her Showing ceremony, where the true extent of her power will be announced to the world. When she accidentally discovers she has a foreign source of magic, she must do whatever it takes to prevent her secrets from being revealed. Now, it's not only her impending rule that's at stake - it's the fragile peace of Averian.
